Big HART

Big hART is Australia’s leading arts campaigning organisation, telling Australia’s most invisible stories. Founded in NW Tasmania in 1992, Big hART has now worked with over 50 communities in regional, remote and urban Australia to great acclaim winning 45 awards from Helpmanns to Myer and AFI Awards. We make art, build community and drive change, exposing injustice through powerful campaigns. We use film, theatre, documentary, events, music, podcasts, apps, digital media, augmented and virtual reality to tell powerful stories which ensure that the voice of the powerless influences decision makers. No issue is too hard. Our projects haven driven change in homelessness, addiction, slavery at sea, domestic violence, inequality and intergenerational injustice faced by Indigenous Australians. We initiated and ran the 8 year campaign for copyright justice for Albert Namatjira’s family which saw copyright handed back to the family in 2017. We enable young women to be change-makers in family violence hotspots. We work with isolated communities and prisons and deliver exceptional community driven solutions which are proven, evidence based, long term and innovative.
