CHANGE THE FRAME

Change the Frame 2022

​This year, as a response to our theme ‘Going to the Margins’, the Visual Arts team purposely put-up artworks on cardboard around the College, in places where the school community would be able to find them. The idea was to bring awareness to the plight of those experiencing homelessness.

‘Change the Frame’, asked us all to rethink our understanding of homelessness, by offering our artworks a dry, safe and warm place for the night, because by changing the frame around a situation, you not only change your perception of it, but its meaning to you. 
This initiative was inspired by the street artist Michael Aaron Williams who simply tapes his homeless people drawings to walls so that anyone who passes by might want to stop, take them off the wall, and bring them home. And if no one does? "They will cease to exist," Williams says. "They will be destroyed and blown away in the wind or other forces that will rip them down and throw them away."
 
As the weather got colder in Melbourne, we asked our community to decide on the fate of the characters they walked past in the school grounds; whether they would end up discarded, trampled on and thrown away or, lovingly taken home for a night or a couple of days. We asked for a gold coin donation in return with all money raised going to a wonderful organisation called COTS (Christmas on the Streets) who help people experiencing homelessness. Thank you to all our students and staff for getting behind this initiative. We raised over $300 during Term 2.
