Project Description

Jessie Lloyd's profoundly moving and important Mission Songs Project reveals what daily was like for Indigenous Australians on Christian missions and state-run settlements. Through the discovery of rare secular songs that were sung after church, audiences at the Festival Cultural de Mayo in Mexico can gain a deeper understanding of Australian history and provide opportunity for cultural exchange, collaboration and connections.
