Turn CACD on: Change Media’s response to current community art trends

Jennifer Lyons-Reid and Carl Kuddell are the documentary-makers, artists, activists and educators behind Change Media, an Australian organization dedicated to building the cultural capacity of Indigenous and other excluded communities, using digital media. Through their extensive experience of working within an artistic terrain marked by inequalities between communities, the arts industry and government, they highlight some of the ethical quandaries behind the affirming rhetoric of community development and the privileged status of art.
