"Fill in the Blanks"
The media plays an enormous role in shaping, often negatively, our perceptions of society. Consequently, vulnerable members of the community are left unjustly accused and often without a voice to defend themselves. Children and young people, disproportionately Indigenous Australians, are particularly susceptible to such negative representations and prejudice. This work focuses on celebrating the playfulness of all youth, while erasing ideas of stereotypes and identity. It prompts the audience to critically consider (and challenge) how the media would typically encourage us to “fill in the blanks”.
