Art, anxiety, and activism are just some of the topics that collide in Tania Ault’s story. She’s a Gudjala artist with a studio in the main street of Charters Towers, but she’s also so much more than that. We first spoke to her as she was heading to a protest about improving the Indigenous housing situation in her community, and that’s just a part of her activism and involvement in the social welfare of the Charters Towers region.
BRAVE is jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
This project is produced by Damien Lawardorn.
