Artist, mentor, teacher, researcher, curator — Dr Paola Balla is all of this and more.

I had a fantastic conversation with Paola for the People of VU podcast. We unpacked the occupation she would list on a visa application; how it felt striding across the graduation stage to receive her PhD; and what gives the Footscray community its edge.

Paola imparted some incredibly uplifting and thought-provoking words in this episode. It is certainly one to listen to in great depth.
