AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A combination of hip hop, afro-beat, R'n'B, installation art, animation, theatre and multimedia, The Deep North is a celebration of the African Australian diaspora.

'Developed by triple J Unearthed hip hop artist Gabriel 'DyspOra' Akon, renowned Adelaide MC Stephen Tongun, poet, dancer, singer Pontsho Nthupi and playwright Matt Hawkins (Frank Forbes and the Yahoo Boy), The Deep North tells the story of Jasmine Mutesa who has to choose between a scholarship at one of Adelaide's most prestigious schools and keeping her family from falling apart in Port Augusta. It is an entertaining and empowering story about finding your voice and the meaning of home.'
