Travis De Vries

Booking Overview

This is a long-form arts and culture interview show centered on creative practice, First Nations perspectives, and the personal stories behind music, visual art, journalism, and cultural leadership. Agencies could credibly pitch established First Nations artists, musicians, producers, multidisciplinary creatives, arts journalists, broadcasters, and cultural leaders with a substantial body of work; booking difficulty is medium because guests are accomplished but drawn from a focused Australian cultural network.
