How to brief a First Nations artist | Ep. 2

Artist Tyrown Waigana joins architect and creative director Mond Qu to discuss their collaborative work on a set of installations for Australia Post, which were inspired by place and Country. For Mond and the UnitedMake team, respect and cultural fit were foundational to the project. Tyrown speaks about the importance of working from his own cultural knowledge and evolving sense of identity. Both guests emphasise the role of deep listening and ongoing learning, especially for clients and agencies.
