What's Our Story? A challenge for Alice Springs

The narrative of Alice Springs is under construction. In the midst of a perfect media storm, the current chapter is being written at a furious pace by many urgent voices, focusing our attention on identifying solutions to the things that divide us.

But what of the things that unite us? What processes do we have for exploring and amplifying universal themes that help us describe aspects of the intercultural zone?

There is an opportunity in the near future for you to explore this notion : HOME is a collaborative artwork developed by internationally respected artist Craig Walsh and presented as part of Digital Odyssey

In HOME, individuals from across our community will share how circumstances and experiences have shaped their perceptions of ‘home’, and what remains important to them in defining this term. These video portraits will then be screened in public spaces across Alice Springs, May 12-14.

On behalf of Watch This Space and the Museum of Contemporary Art (NSW) I'm inviting you to participate.

Interviews will be recorded May 3-6 at the Watch This Space gallery. Please reply email or tweet me @transmediaNT to arrange a suitable time.

Watch a video about Craig here. An ABC Arts video here.
