The CASP funded Playback Kandos (2023) by Josie Cavallaro has been nominated in the Engagement Program category for a Museums & Galleries NSW IMAGinE Award.
Playback Kandos was an art project that invited people in the community to listen to a narration of an object and then translate it into material form.

The IMAGinE Awards highlight the resilience, innovation and creativity of museums, galleries and Aboriginal cultural spaces and recognise the people who work in them. IMAGinE celebrates all institutions and pays homage to those organisations run by volunteers, with limited budgets and minimal resources. These Awards offer a unique opportunity for museums, galleries and Aboriginal cultural spaces in NSW to advocate, promote their achievements and raise their profile within the sector and the broader community.
The IMAGinE Awards are an initiative of Museums & Galleries of NSW, developed with support from the Australian Museums and Galleries Association NSW and Regional and Public Galleries of NSW.
The awards presentation night will take place at Paddington Town Hall on Thursday 21 November.
