Birds Eye View: Ep1 Making Herstory

20 Dec

Produced by Story Projects (AUS 2020)

38 min / Episode 1 of 10

BIRDS EYE VIEW is the culmination of a two-year audio storytelling project run by StoryProjects in the Darwin Correctional Centre. One of a number of public health initiatives designed to minimise alcohol-related harm, the project involved workshops and mentoring in field recording, interviewing, editing, vocal techniques, body percussion, scripting and slam poetry.

Framed by three questions - Who are we really? How did we get here? and Where to next? - project participants documented their memories, reflections and the everyday routines of prison life.

Episode 1: Travel into the Darwin Correctional Centre where you’ll meet Rocket, who has spent most of her adult life in prison, along with a bunch of birds.
