North Lismore’s community is invited to be centre-stage.
Photographic artist Cherine Fahd believes photography can bring people and communities together, and creatively address moments of significant social change. Her photobooth will be set up at the old general store on Bridge Street and Living Lab Northern Rivers invites locals to come along — by yourself or with everyone in your family, local club, group or street!
On the day share the experience of group portraiture with others, bring memorabilia and personal stories, and help us to create some lasting memories of the neighbourhood you are part of.
Many residential properties in North Lismore are part of the buyback stream of the Resilient Homes Program, the largest residential buyback program in Australian history. As the suburb transitions from a vibrant neighbourhood to a new future, many local stories, it’s history and the deep understanding of place will move with the residents.
Living Memory is a community project exploring the stories, history and memories of North Lismore. At the heart of this work is the desire to creatively support a community experiencing a massive transformation — to tell their stories in their own words. With North Lismore residents, we will create a series of reflections and portraits, and a collection of historical materials and artefacts, celebrating the people and a suburb now rapidly changing.
