EP 36 HIRSTORY LESSONS
from Agenda Hosted by FBi Radio
This week we were joined by Lucky Price (casting director), Kurt Pimblett (actor) and Anthea Williams (director) from the Australian premiere of the smash hit play 'Hir', which is on until September 10 at the Belvoir St Theatre. Written by New York playwright Taylor Mac, 'Hir' is a kitchen sink drama exploring gender roles and domestic politics. Further details here. We also spoke about recent events surrounding Pauline Hanson's burka stunt, the 'Unite the Right' protests in Charlottesville and and David Jones' "apology" to a customer over their use of Sudanese-Australian model Adut Akech on a catalogue cover. Check out the Syllabus for White People to Educate Themselves for some great resources about race, such as Anti-Muslim Hate Crimes Will Increase. Here Is How Not To Be A Bystander and How To Protest Islamophobia. In good news this week, vending machines stocked with free pads and tampons have now arrived for the first time in South Australian high schools and American musician St. Vincent aka Annie Clark will be making her feature-length directorial debut with a female-led adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray. If you’re in Sydney this weekend, the Equality Weekender is happening at a bunch of venues and events including Cake Wines, The Lansdowne and Volumes Festival today. Organised by Heaps Gay, it’s a great opportunity to show your support for marriage equality and register to vote if you haven’t already. More info here.
