We are excited to be discussing Ngarn Wa’ngal: Art of the gum tree currently on display at the Potter Museum of Art. This major exhibition reflects the deep cultural, ecological and symbolic significance of the gum tree — and we look forward to hearing our guest Sophie Gerhard share insights into the curatorial process! 🌿Also in this episode, Astra reflects on the art he found in a local library and Aditi shares the work of Felicity Chiao!

Art Smitten airs Mondays 3-5pm on SYN 90.7fm 🌳
