Artist Melanie Hava at Cairns Indigenous Art Fair (CIAF)

In this episode, Molly spoke with the talented Melanie Hava, a local artist featured at the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair (CIAF) 2024.

Melanie's unique heritage, with a father from Enns, the oldest city in Austria, and a mother who is a Mamu Aboriginal woman from the Johnstone River catchment area, deeply influences her work.

Listen in as we explore how the vibrant reef and rainforest landscapes of Far North Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef inspire Melanie's stunning creations. We talk about art, culture, and the powerful act of sitting and listening to Country. Follow Melanie Hava on Instagram: @artofmelaniehava
