OUR WORK
Melbourne Water
Narrap Rangers
Melbourne Water partnered with the Wurunjderi Narrap Team at Yan Yean, who combine conventional conservation and land management with traditional Wurundjeri cultural practices.
We created videos showcasing the work of the Narrap Team, the invaluable services they provide and the impact the program has to Country and on the Rangers themselves.
Market Forces
Walk With Us
In collaboration with Market Forces, we created a campaign that exposed Australian super funds' investment in Santos' Narrabri and Barossa gas projects.
Through a carefully orchestrated strategy unfolding over months, we crafted social media videos and a compelling 10-minute video sparking conversations and introspection around the ethics of super fund investments.
Drama Victoria
Time to Act
Time to Act is a series of workshops held by Drama Victoria in partnership with Deakin University’s Centre for Regenerating Futures, to help teachers to use drama pedagogy and theatre as approaches to education for climate change and climate justice.
Filmed in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges, we created a welcome video for the workshop with Deakin University's Al Fricker, sharing his story and opening the discussion.
Koori Heritage Trust
Blak Designs
The Blak Design program is an initiative from the Koori Heritage Trust that fosters First Peoples cultural innovation and provides a platform for nurturing sustainable, First Peoples design practices.
We crafted a series of 9 artist profiles, featuring participants from the program and the work they created as part of it. We explore various art forms, traditions, and techniques.
