Description: Testimony is a series of public events based around the telling of stories, both good and bad, relating to the refugee experience. These stories will come from refugees, children of refugees and people whose lives have
intersected with refugees. They will be told by these people as well as "story tellers" interested in the issue who will relay messages and tales from people who do not wish to speak publicly themselves, due to the legal ramifications or simply because it is too personal and emotional for them to tell themselves. The "story tellers" will predominantly be young people, under 30 years old. The process will be filmed and digitally sound recorded for use in the future.
Goals:
Testimony aims to prompt Australians to think about refugees in different ways. The project will not just "preach to the converted" but will focus on
communicating to a public audience the many different realities of refugee experience from their conflicts at home to flight, detention and settlement. We want to engage the audience in stories, both bad and good, that are personal,
emotional and political.
Testimony further empowers young people as active participants in the public discussions surrounding the issue of refugees in
Australia.
The project aims to contribute meaningfully to our engagement over this issue, as a community. By filming and recording each event of Testimony we also wish to have it as a record of these stories that can be documented and utilized in other projects. In all instances we will respect the rights and wishes of all participants and seek permission for any use of their stories.
