Kirli Saunders is many things—a proud Gunai woman, a teacher, an artist, and the 2020 NSW Aboriginal Woman of the Year. She’s also the award-winning writer of novels, poetry and plays, and her latest book Bindi —written in both Gundungurra and English verse—is a remarkable tribute to family, friends, Country, and creativity.
Follow Saunders as she shares her creative process and lets you in on how to tell your own stories through art and writing.
