The next generation of creative talent on the big screen will be unlocked as part of the City of Melbourne’s SIGNAL. ​The creative studio for young people will launch its latest Screen and Sound Commissions – with 12 new artworks made by 8 emerging artists, developing new digital and online works alongside industry professionals. During the 12-week program, the young creatives developed a screen or sound work, as well as an audiovisual piece in collaboration with a commissioned artist. Carmen Yih – a dancer and filmmaker whose commissioned work shows the complex layering of cultural codes and embodies heritage on immigrant bodies. Fetle Wondimu Nega – a sound artist, singer and music producer whose commission explores bilingualism and cultural code switching using live coding and vocals inspired by Ethiopian jazz and Orthodox hymns.
