Gippslandia | Youth Edition

The power of young voices

The Youth Edition is a celebration of the vibrant young talent in Gippsland. This special edition hands the reins to young creatives, allowing them to share their stories, art, and visions for the future. Guided by a mentorship programme facilitated by Regional Arts Victoria, these young contributors received valuable training and support. Completely crafted by the youth, this issue breaks away from convention, showcasing the fresh, innovative perspectives of our region’s young minds. It’s a tribute to new beginnings and the boundless potential of Gippsland’s future leaders.

The design of this Youth Takeover edition draws inspiration from the energy and creativity of Gippsland’s youth. While the youth crafted the content, we broke our own design conventions to ensure the publication reflects the fresh perspectives it presents. The result is a bold and contemporary aesthetic that aligns with their enthusiasm and forward-thinking nature.
