Big West Festival worked with communities in Melbourne's outer western belt in a program that spanned five local government areas across 84 suburbs covering 1290km2 with over 140 nationalities and 80 languages. Racial discrimination, language, disadvantage, finance and geography are barriers to social participation. Mobile Art Spaces developed from Big West's biennial 10-day festival, in response to the demand for more frequent opportunities for intercultural exchange.
