The Exemplar Projects

WAYS OF BEING – FIVE BIG hART PROJECTS WHICH EXEMPLIFY A RANGE OF CULTURAL JUSTICE INTERMEDIATIONS.

Four of these exemplar projects generated a large range of digital material. Nothing Rhymes with Ngapartji and Namatjira Project in particular are feature documentaries and will require time to absorb. Other materials can be absorbed in smaller chunks.

Although Drive in Holiday retained little digital footprint, it inspired other works included here.
