    Social worker, educator, and proud Durrumbal / Killilli and Yidinji woman, Tileah Drahm-Butler joins Areej to talk about her article in Melbourne University’s Pursuit, Decolonising Social Work. Tileah discusses how using narrative therapy, increasing the number of First Nations social workers, and moving away from viewing social work as a “white” profession will help make social work resonate more with Aboriginal practitioners and clients alike.

Lastly, Melbourne based DJ, C.Frim, joins Areej for a chat about the year and her new cassette mixtape, BSRMIX100.

    Wandering through Wurundjeri Songlines and representation through rapping with JamarzOnMarz

    Every autumn and spring, the FUSE festival transforms Darebin into a dynamic hub of creativity. The festival ignites the suburb, bringing together artists, the community, and audiences to visit the parks, theatres, galleries, and other public spaces. Yorta Yorta artist & Project Curator of Wurru-Wurru, Allara Briggs Pattison joins Areej to talk about the exhibition, combining the work of six local artists to create brand new works inspired by the theme of Wurru-Wurru, which means “Sacred Kingfisher” and “sky” in Woiwurrung language. Sydney-based rapper, JarmarzOnMarz is operating in largely uncharted waters being an openly gay male rapper but that hasn’t stopped him from expressing his views over rap, R&B and afrobeat influenced instrumentals. He joined Areej to discuss his new latest single and music video for Tomorrow, a straight to the point masterclass with lyrics that switch between English and Swahili as he sings about queer love in an ode to his current partner.
