EPISODE: FAMILY

The importance of family cannot be underestimated. Family informs who we are and how we belong, signifying vital links to others, including our ancestors. Art can celebrate and honour family inheritance, connection and knowledge. It can also expose the sadness of family histories and the ongoing hurt in knowing of ancestors’ lives.
