Interpretation Design, Signage, Brochure Dispenser Design, Collateral We are proud at Studio Tweed to have contributed to this organisation's ability to quadruple the public contributions of their Christmas appeal from the previous year through this work. Each card was addressed by hand and included a hand written letter from a woman who had experienced trafficking, to ensure that the campaign drew as authentically as possible on the real, lived understanding of this global human rights issue. This Christmas appeal drew from illustrations provided by survivors of trafficking, created in art therapy and creative counselling contexts, highlighting the exceptional courage and resilience of those people that Hagar looks to support. Hagar is committed to the supporting the lives of people who have experienced severe human rights abuses and works through a range of commercial and not for profit entities, and private and public sector partnerships, to achieve this work.
Distressingly, Hagar estimates that the price of a slave in 1800 was $40,000 in today's equivalent in 2014 that figure was $90. Hagar Australia is a specialist organisation that works with survivors of slavery and trafficking. This milestone interpretation project contributes to a combination of on ground conservation, visitor access improvements and public programs at Point Nepean that will provide current and future generations with an enduring connection to the site and its significance to Australia’s military history.Ĭampaign Concept, Visual Identity, Collateral The design sought to focus sensitively on the natural and historical significance of the site so as not to overtake the space and minimise impact on the heritage listed site.

The prisoners detained at Langwarrin were German, Austrian and Turkish nationals living in Australia at the outbreak of the First World War. The surrounding bush meant the facility remained private and hidden from the local community. The reserve at Langwarrin was chosen as an ideal location to house prisoners of war in late 1914. Established as a Defence Reserve in 1886, 49 hectares of land was cleared of vegetation to allow for military training and encampments of Victorian colonial forces. The men of these colonial forces were part-time soldiers, similar to today’s reservists. Langwarrin Flora and Fauna Reserve has had a long and important role in the military history of Victoria and Australia.
