A story that’s front of mind for many First Nations artists at the moment has to do with renal dialysis.
If you live in a remote area and you need to access that healthcare, you’re faced with either leaving your Country to receive treatment, or making long, difficult journeys back and forth between your home and the clinic.
That’s where Purple House comes in – it's an Indigenous-owned health service with 18 remote clinics and a mobile dialysis unit called the Purple Truck.
