From the Embers 2: Phoenix - The Stage Goes Dark - Ep 9
Melbourne became a ghost town during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pubs and venues closed their doors, leaving many of the city’s artists and creatives without a stage or an audience. Yet over the months, it was the creative industries, that have kept communities strong by adapting to unprecedented circumstances.
In this episode, four artists share their struggles and victories during the pandemic and cry out for an overlooked community, calling for a lifeline.
This is the final episode of From the Embers 2: Phoenix, a nine part series sharing first-hand accounts from communities across Australia about how they rebuilt their lives as they struggled through a pandemic.
