Best of Artbeat: 5 November 2021

This week on Artbeat, we aired three stand-out stories with a literary bent – well, two literary, one lexical.

Bec Bowman caught up with WA legend Liz Byrski for a chat about her tenth novel, At the End of the Day.

Next, Bec speaks to poet and essayist Maxine Beneba Clarke. Her latest release, How Decent Folk Behave, is powerfully engaged with the most disturbing injustices of the last decade – the Biloela family, Black deaths at the hands of police, climate change.

And finally, a mad-cap catch-up with performance-makers Tim Meakins and Danielle Freakly. Both artists are featured in AGWA's biggest exhibition of WA art to date, The View From Here.

If you've only got time for the timeliest, most thought-provoking coverage on contemporary arts, subscribe to Best of Artbeat. It's three of our favourite chats from the show – and there's always plenty of great interviews to choose from.
