EPISODE: COMMUNITY

Community is what draws people together and provides a sense of belonging. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities are diverse and the experiences that bring people together vary greatly. In reflecting on moments of particular importance to them, artists provide us with a unique insight into their lives and the community spirit that surrounds them.
