  • Ep. 5 The Environment & its Futures with Deanne Gilson & Dr Pirjo Haikola
    Oct 29 2024

    In the final episode we explore connections between art and the natural world, with a focus on the intricate relationship between culture, landscape, and preservation.

    Our guests, Dr. Pirjo Haikola and Dr. Deanne Gilson, may come from different worlds—one a Finnish scuba diver and the other a First Nations artist—but they are united by their deep commitment to preserving the beauty and biodiversity of this country.

    Pirjo brings her unique underwater perspective, while Deanne’s paintings capture the spirit of the land. Joining them is NGV curator of First Nations art, Michael Gentle, who will guide us through the cultural significance of Deanne and Pirjo’s unique art practices.

    Together, we'll delve into the ways art can inspire us to care for our natural heritage and deepen our connection to the land and its stories.
