This year\u2019s Homegrown <\/em>theme was the Forgotten Coast. We were after projects that re-imagined, or re-activated, spaces forgotten. So, we travelled deep within the coast\u2019s nooks and crannies \u2014 we poked around abandoned buildings, dilapidated shop fronts, and overgrown train tunnels, until we landed on these three projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 The Blak Laundry<\/em> <\/strong>by Dominique Chen & Libby Harward<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Labyrinth<\/strong><\/em> by Chloe Keating & Melissa Lanham <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Where to From Here<\/em> <\/strong>by Nicole Voevodin-Cash & Teddy Horton<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would like to thank all the artists who applied this year \u2014 it was a very long shortlist.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blak Laundry<\/em> <\/strong>by Dominique Chen & Libby Harward<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Blak Laundry<\/em> is a functional coin operated laundromat \u2014 and exhibition space \u2014 for conversation, collaboration and celebration of all things blak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activated by Libby Harward and Dominique Chen, the concept is simple: bring your dirty linen, pop it on a warm wash, and engage in critical conversation whilst it cleans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In The Blak Laundry<\/em>, everything comes out in the wash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Labyrinth <\/em>is a dance theatre work choreographed by Chloe Keating and performed in three bookshops on the Sunshine Coast. The story unfolds within three chapters taking you on a journey of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to From Here<\/em> <\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em>by Nicole Voevodin-Cash & Teddy Horton<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
