Guest Editor | Urban List
Culture doesn’t happen in boardrooms—it’s on the streets, in the kitchens, the studios, and the stages. It’s built by people who live it. Our guest editor series exists to hand over the mic to those people: voices who bring the grit, the care, the questions, and the vision. Take a seat as we chat with cultural icons, AACTA-nominated filmmaker Nick Waterman ARIA Award-winning musician Meg Washington.
Meg and Nick are deeply ingrained in Australia’s creative scene, from their collaboration on BINGE film How To Make Gravy to Meg’s voicing of beloved Bluey character Calypso. In their debut op-ed, Purposeful Leisure: Meg Washington And Nick Waterman Are Finding Creative Freedom On The Gold Coast, the duo muse on living a more purposeful, creative life.
Meg and Nick’s impressive body of work reflects the duo’s deep understanding of the Australian cultural psyche. Through music and movies, they tell the stories about what it means to be Australian—the good, the bad, the fraught, the experiences we all share.
