Amplifying Voices from the Royal Commission into Aged Care

皇家老年护理质量和安全委员会是改革澳大利亚老年护理和纠正老年护理居民边缘化问题的难得机会——老年护理居民是一个弱势群体，他们的声音往往被忽视。该项目采用创新的以艺术为基础的讲故事形式，探索非传统方法如何在老年护理政策辩论中为澳大利亚老年人提供更多的能见度。该项目将媒体分析与诗意探究、参与式摄影、公民故事和互动艺术相结合，放大了居民的声音，并让政策制定者、提供者和公众参与到关于老年护理的过去、现在和未来的反思性、包容性对话中。

The Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety is a singular opportunity to reform Australian aged care and redress the marginalisation of aged care residents—a vulnerable demographic whose voices too often go unheard. Using innovative arts-based forms of storytelling, this project explores how non-traditional approaches can provide older Australians with more visibility in aged care policy debates. Combining media analysis with poetic inquiry, participatory photography, citizen storytelling, and interactive art, this project amplifies the voices of residents and engages policy makers, providers, and the public in a reflexive, inclusive conversation about the past, present and future of aged care.
