EMERGENCE
COMING TOGETHER TO RECLAIM NARRATIVE EXHIBITION TOUR & WORKSHOPS
C
ommunity Arts and Cultural Development practice (CACD) is a powerful platform for expression and social justice. Milk Crate Theatre is but one of many cultural organisations in Australia - and the world - that functions as a space for the elevating this expression, making work specifically by and with people with lived experience of homelessness, mental health issues and disability. Emergence is an exhibition of photography and film that looks back on two-decade history of socially relevant and paradigm-shifting performance work made by our company. It weaves a narrative of artistry, ownership, and selfempowerment, in a way that only CACD best practice can do. The exhibition will tour in 2022-4, with Artistic Director Margot Politis and other members of the Milk Crate Theatre artistic team conducting masterclasses and small creative developments with host communities. Emergence will also be available as a Virtual Reality experience in 2022.
