#SeeME

#SeeME is a project creating visibility + recognition of young disabled members of our local neighbourhoods and communities in Victoria's Macedon region.

The project is led by artist LEISA SHELTON and is inspired by her lived experience as a Carer for local Riddells Creek resident SHAE Benfell

As a Carer, Leisa has negotiated with Shae the often difficult terrain of accessing everyday experiences so many of us take for granted – going to cafes, shops, parks etc. Together, they have discovered a network of local businesses and public spaces that have enabled and invited community engagement for Shae.

#SeeME is now working with these local businesses and public spaces to create a photo exhibition with Shae and their staff to promote visibility and invite other families, carers and young people to discover safe and welcoming spaces in their local area.

Each nominated site will be added to an INTERACTIVE MAP as the project develops and expands, creating a resource for connecting with and engaging more inclusively with our diverse communities.
