Tura New Music has worked in the Kimberley since 2003, bringing cross-genre, contemporary live music and sound art to remote communities through an annual program of concerts, workshops and residencies, presented in partnership with local organisations.

Tura New Music has worked in the Kimberley since 2003, bringing cross-genre, contemporary live music and sound art to remote communities through an annual program of concerts, workshops and residencies, presented in partnership with local organisations. The study sought to develop a bespoke evaluation framework grounded in the experiences, priorities and aspirations of the communities of the Kimberley with whom Tura works. The dominant themes in the data gathered over three fieldwork engagements in the region were translated into the domains and subdomains of the framework. Monitoring tools were then developed and implemented in the field during the final fieldwork engagement (June 2019), using indicators drawn directly from the qualitative data. Across its three stages, the research incorporated mixed methods, including in-depth interviews, focus groups, participant observation and surveys.
