NEOMAD is a collaboration between comic artist Sutu, filmaker Benjamin Ducroz and 30 young people from Roebourne in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, as part of the Yijala Yala Project.

The Yijala Yala Project works with community members to create content and develop skills that promote the cultural heritage of Roebourne in arts, tourism, conservation and education contexts. It also includes inter-generational programs in theatre, music, dance and filmmaking. To develop digital media skills, young people used Photoshop and graphic tablets to create an interactive iPad comic and online game, a printed comic series and films, all featuring the young techno-savvy Love Punks.

Behind the scenes…

We made a live action film too… (which is also included in the app)
