| Summary |
If our great artworks are to be believed, the average Aussie is a bloke in a hat who is hell bent on conquering our gum-tree infested landscape singlehandedly. Why has this mono-vision of Australia persisted for so long? Surely there is more to us than our most famous works suggest?Australian stand-up comedian Hannah Gadsby is a closet art scholar. Over three weeks, armed only with her rapier wit, she will travel across the continent on a mission to debunk the myths of the Australian Identity as defined by our art canon.If the Australian art canon is to be believed this country was founded by an army of pioneer blokes. This episode Hannah picks beneath the paint of this hyper-masculine portrait to uncover a more feminine vision of this rugged country.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Hannah Gadsby's OZ is produced by Closure Productions in association with ABC Arts |
