Abstract
This chapter describes a research project conducted amongst Black youth of African migrant descent in Western Australia. The project had various components with one being a festival where African Australian young people used the arts to both inquire into their own lives, and share them with others. The festival included a range of arts-based inquiries that culminated into a series of performative events, the first being Australian Oz Idol that playfully drew on the popular Australian and American Idol formats. The second to be describedhere was a group-devised performance called The Real Deal.
