Friday night will be the last night to catch a special video display on Kingaroy’s peanut silos put together by local volunteers.<\/p>\n

The 25-minute stop-motion animated video, organised by Centacare Family And Relationship Services, was made by 17 volunteers during two workshops held recently in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

The video (see below) tackles the confronting subject of gender-based violence.<\/p>\n

The volunteers each contributed a short animation which were then welded together into a continuous presentation by Tina Torrens, from Torkit Business Solutions.<\/p>\n

The video premiered on the silos – with the assistance of PCA – at 7:00pm on Wednesday night and was repeated on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

After Friday night’s performance it will shift to the Kingaroy Cinema where it will also be shown.<\/p>\n

Erin Jeffs, who oversees the sexual assault service at Centacare in Kingaroy, said the video was made with a government grant to raise awareness about sexual violence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The original plan was to have the video ready for Sexual Violence Awareness Month in October – when Centacare usually host the Reclaim The Night march – but COVID-19 stopped this from happening.<\/p>\n

In the end, the group had six weeks, instead of the planned seven months, to pull the project together in time for “16 Days Of Activism<\/a><\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

“We own (these animations) now so we will be able to use them for all different things,” Erin said.<\/p>\n
