Background

Over 4 years, 50 people from the same city worked on The Migrant Project: CuriousWorks’ first creative initiative. The action was documented on video by many different people, on many different cameras. The resulting edit, unfolding an invisible, bird’s eye view of the project, is the film This City is a Body.

It is a portrait of Sydney, Australia, from the ground up: an examination of a place built on a history of migration. Its backdrop is a time in Australia’s history when a race riot, desperate refugees and citizenship tests seemed to dominate the political agenda.

This film is for anyone who has wondered about mapping more than a city’s streets. Anyone who has thought about who their belonging displaces. This City is a Body doesn’t provide any answers, but it does depict the extraordinary journey of one motley group trying to – and bringing you along with them, whether you like it or not.
