At its heart, The Fire Project is about listening, really listening, to the people who live with fire.”
– Andrea Gibbs
The Fire Project bridges that gap. It invites audiences to sit inside that lived experience, to hear the crackle, the silence, the pulse of a landscape remaking itself, and to feel what survival and renewal mean on a human level.”
– Andrea Gibbs
For those in fire-prone area, fire anxiety dominates summer months.
The Fire Project by Andrea Gibbs is an immersive audio-journey through the urgent issue of escalating bushfires in WA and across Australia. Through powerful first-hand accounts, it immerses listeners in the realities of fire, offering an understanding of its effects whilst proposing pathways for regeneration and hope.
The Fire Project shares raw, personal accounts that highlight the human side of the climate crisis, fostering empathy and triggering dialogue on climate crisis and its impact on land and people, in an effort to build broader understanding and bring change. With interviews from WA communities in Albany, Denmark, Harvey and the Perth Hills, and South Australian communities in Kangaroo Island, Cudlee Creek, Yorketown, Pinery and Lobethal, these stories reveal resilience, humour and heartbreak, offering reflection and inviting conversation through broad perspectives on fire experiences.
