This week on Artbeat, Bec Bowman caught up with Anna Kanaris about the Indian Ocean Craft Triennial - a project which will showcase regional creatives from the tiny community of Wingellina, just kilometres from the NT and SA border.

She also chats with Pat Johnson about her latest novella Isla Rising. It's a ghost story set in 19th-century Edinburgh, exploring themes of love, death and destiny and the otherworldly adventures of a widow on an afterlife quest to find her husband.

Finally, she dives into a fun and quirky production lead by producer and director Andrew Dobosz called Forbidden Broadway - a show which satirises popular stage shows whilst leveraging the artistic talents of LGBTQIA plus folk.
