For our final episode of the year, we split up to investigate the SCA and NAS grad shows which opened on the very same night. We cover the vibes of art, the artists (and their parents), the teachers and grounds of these two Sydney institutions. Sorry, COFA. Matt launches into a rant about the inner west social vibe (with examples) and then goes on to tell an unrelated disaster story. We then discuss photography again, including some insight into how fashion photography sets work. Finally, Hung up issue formal apologies for the year we've had with you. Thanks for listening this year. See you in 2024.
