Ben Quilty: Artist Activist
Ben Quilty is one of Australia's best-known artists. Internationally acclaimed and award winning, he is described as "complex, flawed, obvious, messy, courageous, funny," and an activist. An official war artist in 2011, he produced work for the Australian War Memorial's National Collection.

In this interview with Jessica Raschke, he talks about "art, politics, compassion, and family, and how us humans could change things for the better."
