YIDAKI
Sydney is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, with 1 in 4 Australians
being born overseas. Despite the multicultural fabric of the city, racism remains a serious and unwavering issue, with 1 in 5 Australians experience race hate talk.
Due to its power as a positive social tool, music is often used to promote harmony, cultural understanding and empathy. Studies show that playing music, and singing together brings about social closeness through the release of endorphins. The rhythm in music, helps us to sync our brains to our body movements with others, and the effects can be translated across a whole group
YIDAKI music cultural centre aims to create an environment that promotes a sense of belonging through music, and highlight the role of music in strengthening sociocultural relationships.
