Drug Aware presents: SYMBIOSIS 29/07/2022

Music and poetry collide, with new inter-disciplinary collaborations in response to place.

In collaboration with Propel Youth Arts WA and Healthway, we commissioned local word writers and sound makers to create shared work in response to the natural world. These pieces were presented online as part of KickstART's WA Youth Week, and had their live debut at DADAA Fremantle. From reflections on integrating multiple selves to imagining a future where forests are forgotten due to urban sprawl, this diverse group of young artists have many stories to tell, through music, poetry, and more.

Artists: Lara Pollard, Kieran Fisher, Izzy French, Taonga Sendama, Dakota Jones, Sara Morgillo, David Clarke (Mr Widdy), Nick Huston (SYZYGY).
