In this episode we speak to the amazing Dr. Bronwyn Bancroft, a Bungajung woman and artist. She shares with us some of her key creative projects, which have shaped her life long commitment to celebrating Aboriginal culture, nurturing people, and storytelling through her arts practices. This episode stretches as far back as 1992, when Bronwyn worked on unique and creative illustrations which were used as public health resources to spread awareness of the AIDS epidemic. We also discuss her work on 'Gift Given', which at the time of its completion in 2006 was the largest mural in the Southern hemisphere. This public arts project involved in depth community consultation, and in this episode Bronwyn shares her thoughts on engagement and appreciation of accessible art. We also discuss her work on 'Earth, wind, fire and water', which is integrated into the atrium of the Royal North Shore hospital in St. Leonards, New South Wales. We discuss her process on this project, her values and her thoughts on how art can provide meaning to users of spaces. This episode also looks at Bronwyn's creative outlook and life lived as an artist to share her journey and her approach to living a creative life. We speak about what creativity adds to your life, mental health, and the value of art in 2020. With many exciting projects currently on her plate, Bronwyn spoke to us from her beautiful Byron Bay studio, which was full of art and colour.
