Description: Australian artist Vivienne Binns is known for a diverse stylistic approach in a career that spans painting and community activism over the course of more than half a century. Hear the artist talking from her Canberra studio about how she became committed to surfacing ordinary women’s stories through memory and family connections from the late 1960s to mid-1980s when she worked deep within communities, and how she returned to painting in 1985 with a renewed passion for articulating her own experiences and emotions.
