‘Stories of Giants’ is a creative recovery project documenting the impacts of the June 9, 2021 storms in the Dandenong Ranges. Emma Jennings has painted a series of portraits of impacted residents and volunteers using timber salvaged from the storm. These are powerful examples of how communities support each other in emergencies and how Climate Change natural disasters must be taken seriously.
The Australian Cultural Fund is hosting a fundraising campaign to support Emma's portrait project. so the paintings can be donated to the community. Please help Emma raise awareness of this important issue. Click here to read the full project page and to make a donation. Thank you.
This project has been partly funded by a Yarra Ranges Council Communities Arts and Heritage Grant
