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.

Cabramatta Story

Cabramatta Story juxtaposes the suburbs extensive media baggage and its negative connection to drugs and crime with the viewpoints of those who call it home. Cabramatta Story challenged the suburbs mythical status with a story about migration, freedom and love. Cabramatta Story was nominated for a Youth & Community Australia Writers Guild Award in 2004.
