Mission Statement
Since 2005 Beyond Empathy has been working to cultivate mutual trust and a shared willingness to build close-knit and trusting neighbourhoods. Through the process of creating and sharing art, we support these neighbourhoods to unravel the effects of social disadvantage by building new pathways into improved health and wellbeing, learning, employment, and social inclusion.
Activities
Beyond Empathy is a team of artists, mentors, community workers, local practitioners and leaders who encourage genuine artistic autonomy, allowing creative expression to truly flourish, resulting in works that are bold, fearless and unique. When these works are presented in the local neighbourhoods by the people who make them, change and growth occurs through empowering them to have agency over their lives and decisions, sometimes transforming how they see themselves, and how others perceive them. Our process enables people and their neighbourhoods to thrive.
