The episode focuses on the 100 year war fought on Australian soil and the ongoing culture of resistance, through the eyes of artists.
“A huge thank you to Mint Pictures and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) for the trust and collaboration, and to everyone who contributed their talent and hard work to bringing this story to life. I’m very proud of what we created together.” Daniel

It’s a wrap!
We had an incredible time at AMaGA 2024, the national conference for Australian museum and gallery professionals.
With the Australian Museum, we won the Award for Community Connection for the exhibition of Her Name is Nanny Nellie. So proud to be amongst groundbreaking people working hard to change the way First Peoples are represented in our institutions. We’ll be planning a visit to Maitland Regional Art Gallery and others soon!
We held a screening and post discussion of Her Name is Nanny Nellie with Mariko Smith from the Australian Museum, which lead to some interesting talk about what’s next for Nanny Nellie.
And we got to hear from Professor Aunty Eleanor Bourke of Yoorook Justice, an intellectual powerhouse, raising awareness of Aboriginal history and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights to respect, identity, and self-determination.
Overall, an inspiring week spent in Ballarat.
