ABSTRACT

In backyard sheds and in the offi ces of remote Aboriginal communities; in storage boxes in community centres; on old hard drives in the offi ces of artists, educators, and community workers; and in the archives of arts organisations and universities sit works from co-creative arts projects now long fi nished. Represented in these works-books, visual art, scripts, fi lms, zines, posters, DVDs, comics, digital stories, music recordings-are the stories of people, communities, subcultures, places, events, social and political issues, that were loaded with enough signifi cance at the time of their production to inspire the creative energies of a group of people to come together and make art.
