How do you talk about the things that have happened to you and from your history? Are you angry? Can you stir passion and emotion? Can you engage in a deeper, more fundamental way and focus more on the regeneration of cultural practices?

Blak Douglas is about to win the Archibald Prize, Maree Clarke is working on the biggest urban art installation in Australia, the Melbourne Metro tunnel project, Penny Evans has her major work opening at the National Gallery of Australia, and Ben McKeown attempts a come-back at the Selzer prize after a heart attack.
