SOCIAL ACTIVISM MANAGER

Amy leads Artefact’s Purpose teamwork which activates the organisation's Commitments. It’s an exciting area to work deeper than corporate social responsibility in seeking meaningful purpose-driven teamwork opportunities.

As a journalist, television programmer, marketing executive and independent filmmaker she has had the privilege to sit with Elders, peacemakers, industry leaders and practitioners in Australia and across the world. Her career has practiced dialogue and reconciliation. She has worked to help shine a light on the human condition and the planet we live on through journalism, exhibition and factual storytelling.

She is delighted to be working with the extraordinary team at Artefact and like-minded organisations to fulfil their Commitments.

Amy’s artefact

“This shell necklace was given to me by a group of artists living near Gunyaŋara in South East Arnhem Land.

I was working with artist Gulumbu Yunipingu at the time, in the creation of a documentary series which featured her inspiring artwork that was commissioned to form part of the building at the Musee du Quai Branly in Paris, just a couple of blocks along the Seine from the Tour d’Eiffel.

I will never forget walking with the Artist on country, camping with the women and learning from her about how she connected her Art to her medicine.”
