Introducing our 2022\u00a0Homegrown<\/em>\u00a0artists<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Late last year, in partnership with The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF)<\/em>, we called-out to local artists on the Sunshine Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were seeking projects that fostered a sense of connection and belonging for Sunshine Coast residents, which had a positive impact on the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would like to thank all the amazing artists that applied this year \u2014 we were blown away by the projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eddie Ray \u2014 Silence of the Jams<\/em> is an independent film with an entirely original soundtrack. Award winning artist Eddie Ray has created a comic film exploring a visual manifestation of the artist’s journey when all is lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a dystopian future where the world falls into silence, and all live music has stopped, robots (aka smartphones) now rule the world. Having only ever used his trusty old Nokia, Eddie Ray missed the memo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a motorbike as his trusty steed in the wild west of the Sunshine Coast \u2014 and haunted by the songs in his head \u2014 he must journey to find the weapon that can beat the machines\u2026 music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of Horizon Festival 2022, students will join Aunty Hope for a reading and workshop activity under the trees at Cotton Tree followed by a participatory workshop, exploring Kabi-Kabi language.

The premier of new contemporary dance work Sand<\/em>, presents the interdisciplinary collaboration of local choreographer and dance artist Courtney Scheu, international visual artist Itamar Freed and collaborators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sand <\/em>is a study of the relationship between body and landscape and the impact they have on one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This work exists between reality and a dream-like state, skirting the edges of surrealism and consciousness as a doorway to discover more about our relationship to landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
