I have worked in the arts in Cairns, far north Queensland, for over three years now, predominantly in music. This industry excites me the most. But there are many industries flourishing in the north. I have recently had the honour of assisting Leigh Harris of ingeous studios with his digital design dream, to help run an Indigenous-led creative learning program, IndigeDesign Labs at NorthSite Contemporary Arts, which seeks to introduce young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander creatives to the digital design and creative fields through immersive storytelling and the confluence of art, design, technology and the natural world. Knowing that there are people out there like Leigh, who are willing to give their time and knowledge to help grow capacity in our region is empowering. Seeing the young ones work is inspiring.
