The Gathering

AN INDIGENOUS STORYTELLING PROJECT

The Gathering was a celebration of Aboriginal culture and community in the Fairfield
region. This cross-generational event brought together young people and elders from
the community in an evening of story telling and music. The stories were a mix of
personal experiences and traditional stories related to the land in this region. The
Gathering involved skills development workshops in performance, writing, team
building and story telling. Eleven young people and community elder Aunty Fuzz
worked with a team of professional artists to develop the performance.
