Art Centres Supporting Our Elders

description

An older adult woman from an Aboriginal community controlled art centre lays down on the floor painting a large canvas.

This story, a combined version of the three short films, invites the audience to listen to Elders, artists and staff from three Aboriginal community controlled art centres as they share the vital role they play in keeping their Elders strong and connected.
