AbstractHistoryArchive Description

(From the website's index page)

Saloni M celebrates diversity and collaboration through word, art, film, music, dance and banquet.

Saloni M brings together a group of Artists (writers, poets, painters, filmmakers, musicians and performers) willing to explore what 'Mediterranean' means to them. Whether through heritage, culture, politics, personal or public history... these Artists feel connected to the Mediterranean.

Saloni M is also about artist and audience embarking on a reciprocal learning process. Acknowledging and celebrating diversity and a multiplicity of identities brings with it the rewards of understanding and connection.

Notes

  • (From the website's 'What is Saloni M' page)

    Saloni M has a number of objectives which it realises with its projects. These include:

    • assisting in the development of new audiences, particularly audiences who are first, second and third generation migrants or from Non-English speaking backgrounds (NESB)
    • presenting artistic expression which facilitates the breaking down of ethno-centric beliefs, stereotypes and national borders
    • connecting with the diaspora of various global communities by showcasing the experience of their Melbourne-based counterparts via the arts
    • working with emerging and developing artists, as well as the established. It is important to present the works of lesser known artists, who are acclaimed within the fringe and independent circles, to a wider audience.
