Gemma believes it is her job as an artist to tell stories of her own time. As a calligrapher, creating documents is the way she can do that. She will share about creating the Apology and other documents for the Australian Government and will also show a short video of the making of the Apology to Australia’s Indigenous People given in 2008 by the then Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. There will also be time for a Q&A session.
