ImageListen, can you hear it? Right now, thousands of independent artists are deliberating, creating, explaining, fighting, despairing, celebrating, collaborating and making.

In living rooms, studios, borrowed warehouses, meeting rooms, backyards, parks, laneways and offices throughout Australia, they‘re exploring the most vital, most interesting and most exciting ideas of 2009. Now’s your chance to see what all the fuss is about!
