I was going to post the recording of the award night for the latest Comic Arts Awards of Australia here for posterity...but it seems that it's not possible to reproduce it. I'm not sure how those who are seeking to access the event from a historical perspective are going to be able to do so (perhaps it's just not going to be possible: in which case you may just have to make do with my summary from my last posting). Still, there's been another recording session in relation to Australian comics that I attended more recently (online on the 5th February) that I can share with you. Entitled Folio: Stories of Australian Comics, it also has a website that you can interact with. Click here for the link (https://foliocomics.com) Later on in the session (during the Question & Answer segment) you will hear the organiser's response to my question. The research and development of this project has been a long and costly one, and one that I want to see reach it's full potential. The people behind the work have previously presented at the Australian Cartoonists Association's annual conference a few years ago, and my question was the same then: Despite being a national research project, why have the researchers not yet attempted to interview Brisbane/Queensland creatives? |
