In 2020, Sydney Arts Management Group (SAMAG) facilitated a panel asking what was the role and responsibility of the creative sector in the fight for racial justice. Hosted by Diversity Arts' Lena Nahlous, the talk featured leading activists, artists and community leaders, who explored whether we should we take the path of reform or instead "blow it all up" and completely rethink our industry structures? Listen on for an insightful conversation about how can arts and cultural organisations can work with Indigenous and culturally diverse peoples in meaningful ways that transcend mere symbolism.

Featuring: Merindah Donnelly (Executive Producer, BlakDance), Rosie Lourde (film director, producer, performer) and Tian Zhang (curator and facilitator, founding co-director of Pari)
