blue rose
Blue Rose was a project created with people of diverse abilities and their families about the experience of those who do not use verbal language as their primary way to communicate.
Blue Rose is made possible through the support of CREATE NSW and the Australian Governments arts funding and advisory body, The Australia Council for the Arts.
Over several years the project’s content, activities and workshops were led by the interests of the participants. The team developed a way of experiencing the completed film, inspired by its stars. The result was a series of immersive installations which enabled visitors to play with shadows and light and create visual echoes as they walk through interactive projections.
In 2020 Blue Rose became a way of working, a process and approach embedded in every project undertaken in the Illawarra. Managed by a steering group of Blue Rose parents and supporters, creative project opportunities for people with diverse abilities are advocated for, prioritised and supported.
