Content + Process:
A New Virtuosity
“It’s harder to hurt someone
if you know their story.”
Australia’s leading arts and social
change company, Big hART has
drawn acclaim for making virtuosic
artworks with the invisible,
marginalised and disadvantaged
of our nation. Collaborating with
these communities, who are often
denied a voice, this ambitious
organisation gives these groups the
tools with which to tell their own
stories.
In the process it has created
critically acclaimed, awardwinning works across a diverse
range of art forms, including
theatre (Ngapartji Ngapartji,
Hipbone Sticking Out), film (Drive,
Hurt – see page 58), music (MURRU
– see page 7) and the visual arts
(Neomad).
Join Big hART producers, artists
and participants in an intimate
Masterclass that will give you
insight into Big hART’s unique
model – creating stories that build
understanding and create change
for individuals, communities and
audiences.
All proceeds go towards Big hART’s Yijala Yala
Project’s ‘One in Two’ campaign, which aims
to address the fact that every second young
person in juvenile detention in Australia is
Indigenous.
