Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are strong storytellers, the original storytellers. Our histories of land formation, entities of massive proportions, every move made causing an indent in the very landscape around them....
The ability of shapeshifting, the human silhouette transforming before someones eyes, or otherworldly creatures, with no attachment to the land they inhabit. Or perhaps you prefer to look forward, adopting an Indigenous Futuristic lens, illustrating great empires and structures..
made from the engineering genius of our ancestors, embellished by the beautiful art of a culture thousands of years old. A utopia untouched by the western gaze, with monuments of respect and honour aligning the streets.Our histories have played crucial in language restoration...
land navigation and much much more. The popular culture industry, comicbooks and film specifically, have come to adapt much of these stories in order to connect with our communities.
To tell these stories right, we must have the right people and the right permissions before we can tell them.

So, what is your story? What narrative will you leave for our future?
