CuriousTV! is a documentary mini-series highlighting ordinary Fairfield City residents and the extraordinary things they do.
The program was curated to raise awareness around issues that matter most to the Fairfield community, and was created by community through a series of CACD (community arts and cultural development) projects funded by Fairfield City Council.
CuriousTV! was a pilot program by CuriousWorks that explored the lives of young, Asian locals from the Fairfield region. This short-form, documentary series was influenced by the lived experience of the children of migrants and refugees who have moved to western Sydney with family, and haven’t left since.
How do the children of Fairfield-based migrants experience the area they grew up in? How are they making their own path? And how can Fairfield Council continue to nurture the next generation?
Follow the stories of a young lion dancing team, a mental health worker, a musician, nail technician sisters, and a tattoo artist as they navigate life while balancing tradition and cultural expectations.
These films were launched as part of Fairfield City Council’s Flicker Fridays (27/9/2019). You can watch the series on CuriousWorks' Youtube channel or in the playlist below.
