The Aboriginal Comedy All Stars and Mojo Juju

BBC World Service - The Cultural Frontline, The Aboriginal Comedy All Stars and Mojo Juju

We explore comedy, literature, music and film from Australia’s aboriginal communities

We hear from creative voices from the world of comedy, literature, music and film from Australia’s aboriginal communities about how they express their culture through their work.

We head to southern Australia and the land of the Kulin Nations for the Blak & Bright Festival, a celebration of Australia’s First Nations writers, playwrights and poets.  The writer and festival director Jane Harrison and the poet and educator Evelyn Araluen explain why the festival is essential for culture in today’s Australia.

First we make them laugh then we make them think.  Two of the brightest stars in Australian comedy, Steph Tisdell and Andy Saunders of the Aboriginal Comedy All Stars tell Tina how they combine comedy and culture to cook up fierce, fresh and funny stand-up. 

Meet the indigenous Australian film team who have wowed crowds in London and New York. We hear from the Karrabing Film Collective on how they use film to tell the story of their community’s fight against land restrictions and racism. 

Plus the singer Mojo Juju shares the story of how her life and her award winning album Native Tongue were shaped by her mixed indigenous Wiradjuri and Filipino heritage. 

Presented by Tina Daheley.
