Episode Sixteen: Trauma-informed storytelling and community co-design with Tare Poole and Trevor Coad

For this episode we speak to Tara Poole, Coordinator of Creative City Ballarat, and Trevor Coad, a project collaborator and survivor, from the Continuous Voices project. Framed as a project that connects trauma and creativity to stand for change and resistance against sexual assault and sexual abuse, Continuous Voices will result in a co-designed memorial to survivors of sexual abuse in the city of Ballarat. The project was unique in its long development time-frame and collaborative, art-based workshops bringing together council, artists, and survivors. We discussed creative collaboration, trauma-informed storytelling, and place-based narratives.
