IHHP, Gilimbaa, Kimberley Mental Health and Drug Service and Nindilingarri Cultural Health Service facilitated a powerful creative process with local senior elders and young people making a music video, photoshoots, interviews and art workshops. Through this Standing Strong creative process we explored themes of building resilience, how to help each other get through tough times, the importance of standing strong together, creating a safe space and assisting each other to get through the hard times. During the week we focused on the importance of culture, language and family; and in strengthening identity and well-being. We discussed the issues and problems that alcohol and drugs can have on the community and the importance of making the right choices. Elders from five language groups all gathered together to create a shared message and discussed how important it is to stand strong together as one, to support each other and be strong in culture, language and community! The young people who participated demonstrated their potential to be strong, positive role models in the future and to carry on the message passed down from the elders.

IHHP had talented artists Julie Nguyen and Zeke Thompson teaching dance along with reknown street artist Andrew Bourke and 'Gilimbaa' artists in residence Leece Carmichael leading the way facilitating the community art mural. Dion Brownfield, Nellie Harris (videography/photos) and Kris Nelis were supporting the whole crew. The Titjikala community was so talented and they work really hard guiding and driving the design, preparation for the mural, and the final painting. We worked alongside Fiona Lange and Georgina Phillips from Indigenous Eye Health (Melb Uni) promoting the importance of washing your faces and hands for strong eye health. Milpa the goanna who is the trachoma mascot made several appearances backing up the messages and distributing t-shirts and resources. We are so proud of this project and especially want to thank the Titjikala community for the welcome and the hard work. This mural is world class and is a massive feature of the community. Everyone will be proud of it for many years to come. yt:video:2iwAn9gTY4w 2iwAn9gTY4w UCVtJpLliSpmRKAifKI5119A Indigenous Hip Hop Projects https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVtJpLliSpmRKAifKI5119A 2017-05-10T11:09:11+00:00 2017-07-24T13:53:23+00:00 'Baker Boy' - Cloud9 (feat Kian) Baker Boy is the freshest new Yolngu hiphop talent from Northern Territory Australia who is proudly rapping in Yolngu Matha language representing his Arnhem Land families. This song is an example of the real Aussie Hip-hop! Baker Boy had a huge hit last year with his dance track 'Yolngu Style' and has bounced back with his first rap track. Teaming up with gun up 'n' coming producer Tobiahs Fakhri and getting killer chorus featuring 14 year old Kian Brownfield on the hook. This track is so infectious and good luck with trying not to play it on repeat. 'Baker Boy' the Fresh Prince of Arnhem Land!!! Cloud 9 Lyrics (Lyrical translation the Yolngu Matha to English !)
