On other news, this year is the second year of Earthshot Prize where Cate is co-founder and a council member. There is no confirmation whether she will be present at the event on December 2nd but according to The Times, she will be narrating a look back at the 2021 winners. It will be broadcasted on BBC One at 17:30 on December 4th, it will also be streamed on YouTube.

Cate is one of the backers of the new gallery, Sydney Modern, opening in Sydney this week. Cate has been quoted by The Times of the challenges that the new gallery will present.

“It’s a good thing that art poses thorny questions,” she says, because “art can break down the borders and boundaries of our imagination”. 

You may remember last month Cate moderated a conversation with Simone Young, who is the current and first female chief conductor of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, for the documentary Knowing the Score. According to TV Tonight, Cate is one of the executive producers of the documentary.

Knowing the Score is a “music documentary exposing a struggle for gender parity and for artists to be valued in times of crisis, or sometimes even at all.” It will be available on ABC iView in 2023.
