NEW SOUTH WALES
Allan Clarke
Originally from Bourke, Allan Clarke, 26, is a proud Muruwari man.
He studied Communications at the University of Technology, Sydney, which included a stint in Vancouver, Canada where he studied First Nation education and linguistics.
After cutting his journalistic teeth at the Fairfax-owned Sun Herald newspaper, he worked as a freelance journalist for a number of years. Allan also worked in various roles including public relations officer, media and events manager and musical content coordinator for ABC TV’s Indigenous Unit.
Allan has also studied at Redfern’s EORA Indigenous College of Performing Arts and has worked on various shows including Gathering Ground, an onsite performance at Sydney’s much-maligned area known as ‘The Block’. In 2008, after three years under the mentorship of acclaimed Aboriginal director Wesley Enoch, Allan finished writing the original stage play Wrong Skin, a story of religion, kinship and tragedy, which was performed at Melbourne’s Next Wave festival
Strongly inspired by the Aboriginal rights movements of the 70s, Allan is dedicated to thrusting Aboriginal reportage to the forefront of our country’s mainstream media. Allan feels privileged to share the many stories of a richly diverse Aboriginal Australia with a national audience.
