Johanna lived in Garramilla for 14 years where she founded StoryProjects, a community arts studio, to elevate new voices from northern Australia. Over a decade she worked with Top End artists and communities to produce storytelling favourites like SPUN, ATMOS and the Birds Eye View Podcast made with women in the Darwin Correctional Centre. She now lives in Nipaluna (Hobart) where she writes fiction, poetry and children’s books. Her work is widely published and she has won a string of awards, including a 2025 Tasmanian Literary Award for ‘Department of the Vanishing’. Johanna will be in conversation with the always-curious Jess Ong who grew up in Leanyer and brings you stories about the Top End via ABC Darwin.
