S04 - Book Club #1 - Adam Goodes, Ellie Laing & David Hardy

Author: Sydney Opera House June 26, 2022 Duration: 45:32

Join Adam, Ellie and David for an exciting talk about this new work, looking at their inspirations for developing this book, their creative process and their journeys as storytellers. 


"Welcome to Our Country" is a collaboration between Adnyamathanha and Narungga man Adam Goodes, political advisor and former journalist Ellie Laing, and Barkindji illustrator David Hardy.


The first book in the series, Somebody’s Land introduces readers to the term ‘terra nullius’, a Latin term meaning ‘nobody’s land’ – applied to the colonisation of Australia by white settlers. The book invites children and their families to imagine themselves in Australia’s past, to feel the richness of our First Nations’ history, and to acknowledge that our country was never terra nullius.

Imagine a place where crayons talk, stories build themselves out of thin air, and every question leads to a new adventure. That’s the spirit of Arty Farty, a vibrant audio playground crafted by the creative minds at the Sydney Opera House. This isn’t about following instructions; it’s about unlocking the wild, wonderful ideas already buzzing inside young minds. Each episode feels like a backstage pass to a world where imagination is the main event, featuring playful conversations, curious tales, and unexpected prompts that encourage kids to see the world differently. It’s designed for families to share, but truly speaks directly to children, meeting them at their level with respect and a sense of fun. Tuning into this podcast means hearing voices that celebrate the messy, brilliant, and boundless process of making things up. Whether it’s pondering why the sky is blue through a song or discovering how a cardboard box can become a castle, the content gently guides listeners toward their own creative conclusions. The team behind the scenes understands that art isn’t just a activity-it’s a way of thinking, problem-solving, and expressing what words sometimes can’t. So, if you’re looking for something that goes beyond simple entertainment to genuinely nurture a young person’s inventive spirit, Arty Farty offers a consistent source of inspiration. It’s a reminder that creativity isn’t a special talent for a few, but a joyful, farty noise of possibility that belongs to everyone.
