Who am I?
- The cynic in me is always at war with the optimist in me, and I didn’t expect to feel so emotional about the launch of the new National Cultural Policy.Pretty excited about the 2023 @riverlandyouththeatre program so I dropped off some copies at @carclew today. 💛Been making zines with tweens in the Riverland and Mallee all this week. 💛Checking out Naomi Hobson’s Adolescent Wonderland at @theriddoch this morning with my little bestie. 💛
