Jesse Boylan is an artist living on Djaara country in Central Victoria, Australia, interested in expanded documentary practice and the role art plays in environmental and social justice issues. In November 2023, they spent three weeks in the Murray region as part of Parched: Cultures of Drought – a research project exploring how people and communities have lived through and managed drought over time and in different regions. This interview took place between Jesse Boylan and Parched coordinator Jacqueline Millner, to discuss Jesse’s residency and new experimental video-essay poem, Where there is wind (there will be dust).
