In 1989, Hungary opened its doors to the Chinese, offering them the only visa waiver at that time in Europe. Tens of thousand of Chinese left their homeland, family and memories. Since then, 25 years passed and they have built their own little world here: a small China in this small country. But what do we know about them? Where and how they live? This short series try to find answers to these questions and to give a picture about their everyday lives.

Colour Theory is an Indigenous art program focusing on contemporary indigenous artists . Artist and self proclaimed 'show off' Richard Bell will introduce the audience to the artists and offer his 'insiders' insight into what makes them tick. Presenting the work of various artists of all ages, from right across Australia, Colour Theory demonstrates the incredible range of Indigenous artistic expression and practice. Featuring works in a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, textiles, weaving, new media, photo media, printmaking, installation and performance. Through the stories of our featured artists we gain an insight into how artists work within the broader context of the community. We follow the artistic process from inception to production to exhibition. We see the local, national and international contribution artists make, the challenges they face and how art benefits the community through employment, education, cultural maintenance and economic development.

It's the black-market nobody wants to talk about - because the illicit merchandise adorns the walls of the fabulously wealthy and occupies podiums in the world's greatest museums and most powerful auction houses. And nobody wants to think too hard about where the loot came from... until now. Blood Treasure lifts the veil on the global crime wave that's destroying the world's cultural heritage, and lining the bank vaults of some of the world's worst criminals. Using a different case study, each episode of Loot: Blood Treasure looks at how and why everybody from Islamic State to the Chinese Triad have muscled in on the act, and why international law enforcement agencies are determined to shut it down, but often powerless to act. And it introduces a cast of billionaires, taste-makers, and art dealers who keep the loot coming. Fortunes are at stake, lives are lost, and reputations destroyed as Loot: Blood Treasure dives into a dark world riddled with greed, brutality, and exploitation. The stars of the show are the priceless treasures that people quite literally kill to get their hands on.
