Throughout todays class we were able to explore the key words surrounding our idea. Provoking different potential perspectives surrounding the busking community at Bourke Street. It is evident that we are interested particularly in the identity of the buskers and how they came to be a part of this sacred place. Is it that they were born into the music world?
