Courageous Conversations Documentary Screening Exhibition

Courageous Conversations is a 4 part mini series where a migrant to New Zealand gets to tell their story to an inquisitive and sensitive New Zealand listener.

The Storytellers have all faced challenging experiences as part of their relocation to NZ.

The interviewers are well known Nelsonians and are keen to get a better understanding and empathy of the migrant’s story.

Each episode is approx 15-25 minutes.

The 4 conversations will play on loop at The Refinery Art Space. There will also be a series of portraits and behind the scene photos displayed in the space to show the process of the project.

Courageous conversations has been produced by Cultural Conversations and Innit Creative Films with sound recorded  by Fresh fm.

This project has been funded by the Office of Ethnic Communities Development fund.
