Proud Wik and Solomon Islander artist Ziggy Ramo joined Vanessa Morris on Banksia ahead of the release of book, album and exhibition - Human? A lie that has been killing us since 1788.

Described as prerequisite reading on this country's history, Ziggy reflected on how Human? expands on debut album and 2020 release Black Thoughts, and explores his experience growing up under the weight of a lie that so-called Australia is built on.

As part of his music journey, the pair also discussed album releases Black Thoughts and Sugar Coated Lies

Human? A lie that has been killing us since 1788 is available form 30 April
