Interview - Ebony Wightman
Ebony Wightman is a designer, illustrator and artist. In her work, she draws on a life's worth of health challenges and her own experiences as an autistic person, but that's just one aspect of her work.
As one of the founders of We Are Studios, an entirely disability-led art studio in Blacktown, I've seen Ebony's leadership for her community, for the intersectional rights and identities of autistic and neurodiverse communities and people with a disability at large, it's had a real impact across Sydney.
She's brought together programs and work at the Biennale of Sydney, galleries from Blacktown Arts to Hawkesbury to the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and along the way become a key advisor on disability and access to governments.
In short, she's doing the work of changing the city's cultural landscape.
So of course, I've always wanted to know more.

Interview – Caroline Butler-Bowdon
Caroline Butler-Bowdon - universally known as CBB - has been a curator and a museum director, a PhD researcher, a government leader with a track record of significant change, and now she’s the State Librarian.
She’s one of those people who seem to attract good people into their orbit, who become a centre of gravity all their own.
I see these people and the buzz of activity that forms around them, and especially with CBB, I’ve always wanted to know more.

Interview - Danièle Hromek
Danièle Hromek is at the centre of an incredible moment.
Creative, entrepreneurial, full of ideas, she’s right in the centre of a profound shift that’s underway towards a growing appreciation of Country, and of connecting and designing with Country, and it’s changing the way we think about and plan our cities.
What I love about her work is the fluid way she works across so many domains - built urban environments, theatre and art, culture.
I’ve seen her name pop up in so many different places, and I’ve always wanted to know more about the person behind all that work.
