Arts literacy
27/11/2007
Our conversation today on Australia Talks is about learning the difference between 'good' art and 'bad' art?
We'd love to hear from everyone who's ever visited a gallery - would you be more likely to visit (a gallery) if someone was there to teach you about the historical and aesthetic value of a work of art? Would it help you appreciate art more?
Shipwrecks
14/09/2007
We're diving into the world of shipwrecks. Australia helped develop some of the world's best practice in the handling of these important underwater cultural sites but has stalled at the barrier on signing a UNESCO convention that would help provide better protection for wrecks around the world.
Why do shipwrecks continue to fascinate and what's the best way to tell the stories that they hold?
