Creative Outputs

Creativity has been central to Made in Millbrook, offering local people different ways to explore the area’s heritage, identity and lived experience.

Through quilting, photography, scrapbooking, visual art, creative writing and movement-based storytelling, participants have responded to archive material, personal memories and the places around them. These activities have provided opportunities to learn new skills, share experiences and express what Millbrook means to different people.

The resulting work brings together personal stories, historical perspectives and contemporary views of the community. Each project offers a different way of understanding Millbrook’s past, present and future while celebrating the imagination and contributions of everyone involved.
