Now Sounds Port Hedland

Grant Awarded: $10,000

About

Now Sounds Port Hedland is a unique intercultural hip hop project that unites youth from First Nations and intercultural backgrounds through their shared love of music, song writing, dance, film, performance and media. This project was to feature three creative engagement residencies bringing together established artists from Perth alongside local, regional artists. Participants would learn how to write hip-hop beats, rap and dance as well as receive professional development in photography and videography. The project included a range of artistic, social and community outcomes, including small scale performances to build confidence and capability, leading up to Port Hedland's major large-scale North West Festival where they would perform in front of 3000 people alongside major national and international acts.
