Creative Types with Virginia Trioli on ABC and ABC iview S2E4 – Virginia Trioli is back in 2025 with a new season of CREATIVE TYPES WITH VIRGINIA TRIOLI, travelling the country and being invited into the very heart of the creative process of some of our most distinctive and prolific artists and performers.
Over six half hour episodes, Virginia meets the true visionary, director George Miller, and learns how his creative process has established him as the most revered action movie director of modern times; singer Kate Ceberano reveals the many forms that her artistry now takes; musician Richard Tognetti takes Virginia behind the scenes to reveal his restless spirit of collaboration; performer Tim Minchin tells Virginia that his life of being just the funny guy is over – he’s looking for something deeper.
Visual artist Tony Albert reveals the pain behind his brilliant and provocative works that connect all of us to a troubled time in Australia’s history; and in what she says will be her last interview, Jenny Kee, takes Virginia deep into her important archive and reveals why she is divesting and preparing for the end of her life.
The unique visions and intentions of these quintessentially Australian artists define our rich and lively culture, as they reveal to Virginia their vulnerabilities, their triumphs and what continues to drive them on.
Episode Four: Jenny Kee
Over five decades Jenny Kee’s exuberant designs defined Australia’s modern era.
In what she says willher last interview, she is reflecting on her vast legacy. At her home at the crest of the Grose Valley gorge,Jenny shows us her astonishing archive, which tracks the brilliant colours and energy of Australian 70s and 80s design, when everyone wore Blinky Bill sweaters.
And at Bondi Jenny reflects on the country that inspires her and says this will be her final interview: after a long life in art, she has said all she needs to say.
