How Do You Hustle
How First Nations Artist Rachael Sarra started her career
In our latest episode we interview Rachael Sarra. Her vibrant creative practice embodies her experience as a proud mixed race, First Nations woman from Goreng Goreng Country. Driven by a belief that art and design are vital to communication, connection and culture, Rachael invites us to see the world through her eyes with bold colours and dynamic contours. Her distinct contemporary style is resonating around the world, and challenging societal perceptions of Aboriginal art and identity.
Rachael is redesigning how First Nations businesswomen navigate success, while anchoring their business in culture. Building a business bigger than herself, she is also committed to donating, having a tangible impact and giving back in the community. Rachael sees collaboration as an empowering way to foreground First Nations voices through partnerships with brands and organisations.
