Lost Toy Story was a multi-media interactive arts festival on the streets of Hurstville in August 2008. Part installation, part sculpture, part art exhibition and part public celebration, (lost toy story) explored the real stories of lost toys, hopes, friends and fears across generations and cultures in the very public forum of Hurstville CBD. Dozens of personal memory boats floating on the pond in memorial square, a 6 metre high fluorescent teddy bear, a hospital for broken toys and live roaming transformers – Kartronics- where just some of the highlights of this event that transformed the CBD. Presented by Shopfront – a contemporary arts centre for under 25s, the project involved over 200 young people from throughout the region as devisors, performers and directors, and was enjoyed by thousands of community members.
