Using art to heal after a disaster, and finding the funny in menopause

Life Matters - Full program podcast - A podcast by ABC listen

Creative recovery is an emerging tool for healing the trauma of diaster-affected communities. We learn how art projects are helping people process their grief and illuminate their experiences for all Australians. Menopause can be confronting and confusing, so cartoonist Kaz Cooke decided to shed some light on it. She joins us to talk about her new book It's The Menopause, and the thousands of women she heard from in the process of writing it. And we look at the history of Australia's film classifcation system, censorship and the allure of banned films.
