Curator Anita Kirpalani from the National Gallery of Victoria joins us to discuss Mercy, a major new exhibition by acclaimed Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson. Known for his expansive video installations, durational performance works and looping musical compositions, Kjartansson uses repetition, melancholy and humour to probe the emotional undercurrents of contemporary life. Mercy brings together recent and newly commissioned works that explore longing, devotion and the fragile beauty found in endurance. Presented at the NGV and running until 4 October.

Each week, Sunday Arts Magazine turns the spotlight onto Melbourne’s vibrant and diverse creative world. This podcast, produced by JOY 94.9 for all our Rainbow Communities, goes backstage and into the studio, offering intimate conversations with the artists, performers, and makers who shape the city's cultural landscape. You’ll hear from painters, theatre directors, musicians, and choreographers, with a particular focus on amplifying the voices and stories from within LGBTIQA+ communities. These aren't just interviews; they're deep dives into the creative process, the personal journeys behind the work, and the unique challenges and triumphs found at the intersection of art and identity. The conversations capture the energy of opening nights, the quiet focus of the studio, and the passionate discussions that fuel Melbourne's arts scene. Tune in for a thoughtful and engaging audio tour of exhibitions, performances, and ideas, all through a lens of queer perspective and community.
