The AWESOME Arts 2018 Creative Challenge kicked off in Parnngurr last week with new arts project, Different Voices'. The program is designed for remote and regional schools and is presented in partnership with Healthway promoting the Go for 2 & 5' health message to students and their wider community.
Over the week, the young people at Parnngurr Community School worked with artists-in-residence Kitsiri DeSilva and Chloe Flockart to explore the theme Different Voices' and what it means to them in their community. The artwork created by the students through this process could take shape as a book, photographs, pictures, videos, films or an online or digital medium and is entirely inspired by the culture, community, experiences and aspirations of the students creating it. The students of Parngurr worked with Kitsiri and Chloe creating their own mythologies! "using masks, body mapping, collage and a variety of techniques, students could explore character, narrative and the heroes journey'" says Chloe.
The student's final artworks will be unveiled at a community celebration, where parents, teachers and community members will be invited to enjoy the art works in whatever form they take!
AWESOME and the Creative Challenge Team are also excited that Healthway, are back on board for another year as a proud supporter of the Creative Challenge program. They are instrumental in providing the opportunity for WA children to express themselves creatively while helping to spread the Go for 2&5' health message. Healthway CEO, Susan Hunt PSM said, "The AWESOME Arts Creative Challenge will make sure the message about eating more fruit and vegetables every day reaches around 100,000 young people aged 17 years and younger, including at least 1,500 young people from remote communities."
Creative Challenge is AWESOME's year-round regional program that visits predominantly regional and remote communities in Western Australia, as well as running some select metropolitan residencies. The theme Different Voices' celebrates the young people living in Western Australia, asking them to explore their own voice and consider those voices around them. Each art work created is unique and inspired by the culture, experiences and aspirations of the students making it, reflecting on their sense of identity, community and place. Our highly-experienced team of artists specialise in facilitating skills-focused, process driven workshops.
In 2018 AWESOME has a team of forty artists from all over Australia including film makers, visual artists, sound designers, musicians, new media artists, dancers, photographers and theatre performers. Selected artworks and photographs will be showcased at AWESOME's major annual event the AWESOME International Arts Festival for Bright Young Things held in the Perth Cultural Centre from 28 Sept-12 Oct.
