“We’re here to look, and we’re looking. We’re here to look and listen and be part of the environment the conversation, obviously, it’s about arts and culture, and we want to defend and protect the rights of IRL (in real life) and people who make it and create and write it,” she said.
Ceberano was a guest of Holly Rankin and her agency Sentiment, which aims to be a voice for culture.
Ceberano said her embroidery had a message: “It’s just a way of showing we are people in the business, putting hand fabrics, putting quill to paper, putting our voices to the stage, and it’s really got to be protected. Bless you. Thank you.”
Minister for Housing, Clare O’Neil, stole the opportunity for a snap next to the Australian musical icon as the pair showed off similarities in their outfits.
