What would it sound like if you had a chance to rewrite Australia’s national anthem? That was the monumental task presented to lutrawita-based (Tasmanian) hip hop artist DENNI, aka Denni Proctor, whose first response to the brief was, ‘As a songwriter, I was like, “Oh, there’s almost too much to write about.” What’s our premise? And how can we get to the nub of it?’
Working alongside DENNI, artists Davina Wright and Alex Walker led two week-long workshops, asking the children what mattered most to them.
