How does Awaye! differ to other Indigenous programs?
Awaye! is a topical and factual program but it’s not news and current affairs, so we can talk about wider cultural issues that go back weeks, months or even years. Our stories don’t have to be event based. There’s so much happening culturally within Aboriginal art and culture so we’re never really stuck for something to do. There’s always someone with an opinion, an exhibition to be covered or an artist doing a show. We also refer to other Indigenous cultures as they bring a new perspective to our understanding of our own Indigenous experience. For example, we have American-Indian broadcasters who occasionally contribute to the program.
