................................................................................................................................ 35 2 November 2020 Overview NSW Arts portfolio Create NSW is part of the NSW Government’s Arts portfolio. It includes Screen NSW and Create Infrastructure and provides support and advocacy for the arts, screen and culture sector. The NSW State Cultural Institutions are also part of the NSW Arts portfolio. These major institutions are: Art Gallery of NSW Australian Museum Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences (Powerhouse Museum) State Archives and Records Authority State Library of NSW Sydney Living Museums Sydney Opera House. Create NSW and the State Cultural Institutions operate within the NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet’s Community Engagement Group. Scope of Create NSW’s submission Create NSW welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Standing Committee’s Inquiry. The State Cultural Institutions have contributed substantial advice and information to Create NSW’s submission. The benefits of culture reach far further than the fundamental intrinsic value of enriching our lives creatively and emotionally. Create NSW’s submission provides information on NSW policies, strategies, current funding priorities, approaches to delivery and a range of initiatives that are relevant to the Inquiry. The submission highlights that: The NSW Arts portfolio and broader arts, screen and culture sector are vital to Australia’s economy and broader society and It is essential to our economy and society that governments, business and the community improve how we value and support this sector with its complex interrelationships and challenges, particularly as we seek to recover from the impact of COVID-19, bushfires, drought and floods. The NSW Government remains strongly committed to improving participation and investing in the NSW sector’s creativity, excellence, innovation and sustainability. The online survey which is part of the Standing Committee’s Inquiry identifies a non- definitive list of the benefits of the creative and cultural industries and institutions: Enhanced creativity and innovation Building strong communities through removal of cultural, social and economic barriers Promoting cultural appreciation Functioning as an educational tool. Create NSW notes that the scope of the Inquiry includes “Indigenous, regional, rural and community-based organisations”. Create NSW’s submission provides information on all of these areas, plus benefits such as: Direct contribution to the NSW and Australian economy Employment in metropolitan and regional areas Support for the world’s oldest living culture 3 Tourism Contribution to Australia’s international profile Vibrant precincts and liveable communities. In line with the structure of the Inquiry’s Terms of Reference, Create NSW’s submission includes separate information on economic benefits and employment (Response 1 below) and non-economic benefits (Response 2). However, many of the examples provided in the submission demonstrate that economic and non-economic impacts can overlap and reinforce each other. NSW Government support for arts, screen and culture NSW is home to the nation’s largest, most diverse population and its largest, most diverse and most innovative arts, screen and culture sector. NSW has1: The greatest concentration of creative industries workers: 42 per cent The largest performing arts market: 32 per cent by attendance and 37.1 per cent by revenue 11 of Australia’s 28 major performing arts companies: five leading music companies and six leading theatre and dance companies 57 per cent of the nation’s screen industry employment and 47 per cent of screen businesses2 Over 5,500 cultural infrastructure sites. This includes 57 Aboriginal cultural centres and galleries and more than 760 museums, 680 galleries, 500 libraries, 17 regional conservatoriums, 1,100 licenced venues and 1,500 arts and screen studio facilities. 87% of community members think it is very important to have cultural activity in their local area.3 Key NSW Government policies for the arts, screen and cultural sector are: Create in NSW: The NSW Arts and Cultural Policy Framework4, released in 2015; and the Cultural Infrastructure Plan 2025+, released in 2019. These policies aim to optimise opportunities for creativity across the state, create more jobs and liveable communities, and contribute to building the state’s economy. Other NSW Government policies and strategies that deal with the contribution of the arts, screen and culture sector to the NSW economy and broader society, such as the NSW 2040 Economic Blueprint and the Sydney 24-hour Economy Strategy are referenced throughout this submission. Create NSW’s Arts and Cultural Funding Program (ACFP) is the key mechanism through which the NSW Government invests in the arts and cultural sector. In 2020/21, the NSW Government

  • The 'Eeeuw' Factor
    NEWLING—THE ‘EEEUW’ FACTOR THE ‘EEEUW’ FACTOR: The Viscerally Sensorial Realities of Being the Colonial Gastronomer Jacqui Newling Sydney Living Museums Author’s statement: This paper includes images that people may find confronting or disturbing. No offence is intended in showing these images. This article was prepared on Gadigal and Wangal lands. The places in Sydney Living Museums’ care are on Aboriginal lands. Sydney Living Museums acknowledges the First Nations Peoples, the traditional custodians, and pays respects to the Elders, past and present, and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Abstract As the Colonial Gastronomer at Sydney Living Museums I research, interpret, write, blog, lecture, broadcast and present interactive programs to engage and educate audiences about Australian colonial food and heritage. But how do you learn about the sensory qualities of foods that were popular two hundred years ago, especially those that have been discarded from the mainstream (particularly Anglo-Celtic) Australian culinary repertoire? How they looked and tasted, their textures and aromas? My answer: make them. This has meant preparing and cooking foods that many Australian people find offensive, distasteful, disgusting and ‘gross’: calves’ feet jelly, boiled calves’ heads, brawned pig’s face, peeled tongues, and collared eels so fresh they twitch and jump on the Locale: The Australasian-Pacific Journal of Regional Food Studies Number 7, 2018 —45— NEWLING—THE ‘EEEUW’ FACTOR benchtop when filleted. This auto-ethnographic analysis draws on my experiences of working with articles of culinary disgust, particularly animal heads and tongues, to reflect upon the pedagogical processes involved in my role as the Colonial Gastronomer.
