Today on the Art + Business + Murals Podcast I am speaking with local indigenous artist, JandamarraCadd.

In this interview we talk about being better humans, not justbetter artists.

Jandamarra Cadd, a Yorta Yorta and Dja Dja Warung descendent, is an inspirational man with many stories to tell. With his vibrant and expressive portraitures, Jandamarra’s artwork is emotive and insightful –  and is a powerful medium to bridge the story telling divide between Aboriginal andmainstream Australia. A finalist in every major portrait art prize in Australia including Archibald art prize with a portrait of Uncle Archie Roach.

Received an honorary doctorate in the creative industries 2018 for his work in community. He is the first and only Aboriginal artist in over 100 years commissioned to do a painting for Parliament house, of the First ever Aboriginal woman and senator Nova Perris to Parliament. Has had illustrations in multiple publications.

He is an inspirational Speaker that has travelled throughoutAustralia and overseas speaking about the value of our connection to country and the loving custodial responsibility that comes with this. And about healing the trauma we all carry from our systematic separation from this ‘Natural Lore’. He has been on many forums, given talks and multiple platforms talking about a variety of issues relations to the journey and emancipation of First Nation people from the genocide that they have survived through and are continuing to experience the intergenerational trauma from.
