Strengthening Community Connections through Cultural Creativity

Marginalised communities yearn to tell their stories, but they often go unheard.

Seen and Heard programs connect people and provide spaces where they feel not just included, but valued and celebrated. They support participants to build their skills in expressing themselves through artistic mediums AND they create opportunities for the community to hear often-unheard perspectives and voices, building community connectedness.

Current programs include:

Birds, Horses and Midnight Blues

Original songs inspired by books performed by Ensemble NORTH at Geelong libraries.

Djilang Film Collective

An ensemble of young, culturally diverse artists, creating short films

Featherlings

A multi-media arts event as part of the ROAM festival, featuring NORTH Children’s Choir and large-scale puppetry by Liz McGrath.

Heartbeats from Home

Ensemble NORTH tour to UKARIA Adelaide and primary schools in Whyalla.

MusicSpace

A welcoming community for adults who experience disability where anyone can share in the joy of music

Watch us Dance, Hear us Roar

Students at Hamlyn Views School explore music, dance and storytelling and create a music video that celebrates who they are and what they dream for the future.
