From the Ground is an intercultural project supporting young people and communities across Yuin country on the South Coast of NSW to reconnect and reengage with culture and country following the Black Summer Bushfires and COVID-19. A creative workshop program delivered by local artists and cultural educators – it focuses on digital art-making honed through deep engagement with local language, story, song and dance. Through mentoring, young people in Nowra, Wallaga Lake and Eden create digital art, film, music and curated community events that celebrate their connection to place.
From the Ground is a Big hART project.
Bulla Midhong
Bulla Midhong is a 3-part series of on-country events showcasing original digital content and traditional story-telling. In each location, local high-school students have generated digital and performance content exploring cultural stories over the course of a 12-month workshop program. Hosted by the young people themselves, and interwoven with music, dance and projection, these events are a culmination of this body of work.
Now complete the legacy and artefacts of this project will be celebrated with an album that will be launched at Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre with a special concert event.
What's On
Bulla Midhong Album Launch and Concert
Bulla Midhong, meaning 1 and 2 is 3, is an album launch and concert of songs and stories, interweaving whale stories from Eden, stories of Gulaga (mother mountain) from Wallaga Lake, and the black cockatoo story from Nowra. Through music, narration and exquisite projected image, Bulla Midhong celebrates a deep connection to place and continues a long lineage of story-sharing across Yuin country. Created with local young people, artists and cultural mentors over two years, this special event follows the success of the Bulla Midhong events held in 2023, where we sat at the feet of three mountains, sharing three stories, connecting three communities.
