Artist Tree - Art Space for Itinerant and Homeless people from the Desert Regions living in Broome
The Artist Tree is a unique space where creativity and community congregate at the centre of Broome’s Chinatown. It is a grassroots initiative started by myself and Agnes Gimme that brings together diverse groups of people to sit down and enjoy the paintings and stories told by artists from the desert regions of the Kimberley…and beyond!
The Artist Tree is NOT an Art Dealership scheme.

PhotoVoice - Suicide prevention Research Project in Fitzroy Crossing
The strategic action group will advise on the development of a long term transformational strategy that will significantly impact on the matrix of harm entrenched across the Fitzroy Valley.
Currently the group is composed of representatives from town based organisations, Indigenous and non-Indigenous. The group is being led by MWRC, due to MWRC’s investment into community collaborative work, and its core strategic goals; A Harm Free Society and Overcoming FASD. It is proposed that the group will expand to include heads of community and other Fitzroy Valley stakeholders.

PhotoVoice - Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) prevention Research project in Broome
The Kimberley has the highest rate of STIs in the state. This is even higher for Indigenous and young people.
Red Dirt Youth is a PhotoVoice Project that gave cameras to young people to answer the question “What makes you happy and strong”.
What the young people said will help identify strengths that can be enhanced and used to guide future health promotion.

Photography Portrait Paste-Up
Inspired by JR and the Inside Out project, SOMEWHERE STUDIOS created a wall of portraits of people in and around the community and asked the question; "What's On You Wall?"
The project has been a wonderful success with many coming back and showing their friends, interacting with the photos and generally enjoying seeing faces of friends and others they know.
Special thanks to Anthony Nelson for helping paste up and to Plakkit for printing them!

Chipata Compound School, Kitwe Zambia
The Chipata School was established through the passion and dedication of Zambian couple, Iness and Elias Kakompe, as they responded to the great need for a school on this poverty stricken compound.
Due to the generous support of the Whittlesea Uniting Church, much has been achieved in the last two years: a school building constructed, children fed and teachers paid, but, still much needs to be done such as the classrooms completed, toilet block built, the daily feeding of children and a building to house the many orphans.
Their new three classroom building is now being used but tables, chairs, cupboards and school equipment is still urgently needed.
If you would like more information please phone 9716 1505 or email: margtaylor@iprimus.com.au
