Real stories, real people – Everybody Now!

Our Work

The foundation of our work is co-creating with communities. Relationships are at the centre of everything we do.

We believe that joyful acts of togetherness, alongside optimistic and artful distribution, can Move Communities to feel more connected, empowered, and valued.

Our work is driven by a desire to bring people together to tell stories; celebrate shared experiences; and optimistically speak of common challenges and concerns. We do this in projects which are centred on the unique lives of a diversity of people, responding to place within specific communities.

What connects all our work to our purpose and vision is Real People, Real Stories – Everybody NOW!

Our Approach

Collaboration

We are collaborators in community story-telling and local place-making. The community brings the knowledge and the invitation to create. We bring the creative process and form.

Participation

We work with an open access, culture of co-creation. Our projects bridge social capital; celebrating difference and amplifying the collective. We invite conversation and practice deep listening.

Responsibility

We treat the stories shared with us with integrity and care. We create democratic and inclusive sites for creativity; prioritising the safety of children and young people, cultural safety and accessibility.

Legacy

We weave future relevance, opportunities and legacy into the work we produce. We evaluate with rigour and share our expertise, learnings and findings openly, to learn and leave well.
