'Voices of the Wheatbelt: Wheat Beats is the third phase in a community arts project occurring across the Wheatbelt. The first phase commenced in 2008.
This phase of the Voices project was carried out between July 2010-June 2011 across the towns of Kelleberrin, Quairading, Brookton and Narrogin in Western Australia. Young people aged 11 to 15 from schools and communities in these towns participated in workshops learning the history and skills of Australian hip-hop, traditional Aboriginal dance, and filmmaking as a contemporary avenue for expressing their connection to their culture and community. One of the many outcomes of the project is this wonderful publication. It showcases four original hip-hop songs written by the young people who participated, and accompanying music video clips directed by 2011 WA Young Filmmaker of the Year Mat De Koning.'
