Through compelling storytelling and cultural celebration, we create opportunities for positive personal change and social impact.
“Imagine if there was a great healing. If all people felt connected –belonging not only to country, but to each other. If we learn from the past, we can understand our present, empowering us to create a new future.”
- Matthew Priestley. DPM Co-Founder/Chairperson
For two decades, Desert Pea Media has amplified Indigenous community voices through impactful creative processes. Creating important and rare opportunities for truth-telling, personal empowerment, community transformation and positive social change.
Over 20 years, we have built a strong reputation for authentic, impactful programs with some of the most marginalised and ’at risk’ people in Australia. We have collaborated with thousands of young people, Elders, knowledge holders, community members and local service providers around Australia
Our impact-led projects utilise creative forms such as music, film, digital media and performance to facilitate important community conversations and critical reflection. Now, we are working towards a new strategy that transforms these ‘lightning strike’ projects into a ‘long-burning fire’ for generations to come.
