We are proud to promote participation and achievement in culture and arts by showcasing the creativity, skill and talent of WA artists and arts organisations who tell WA’s unique stories.
The department aims to grow and sustain thriving culture, arts and creative industries in Western Australia, contributing to the prosperity and diversity of the WA economy.
We support a sustainable arts and cultural sector that facilitates social and economic wellbeing by providing research, policy, information and support.
Created by Ian and Poppy with an oral history from Elder Doolann Leisha Eatts, the work was presented during the 2021 Perth Festival.
A culture and the arts grant is helping the creative team - guided by four Noongar Elders - to develop a virtual reality component using oral histories and storytelling to highlight the origins of ongoing injustices in Australia.
