11pm - 12am AEDT
A taster session about using storytelling and indigenous knowledge to explore our own perspectives of place, survival, and belonging
This participatory workshop led by Maya Chowdhry uses counter-mapping techniques to subversively map the spaces we exist in. You will uncover tips and find out ways that you can create an interactive map that uses storytelling and indigenous knowledge, not just geographical data, and which can encompass our own perspectives of place, survival, and belonging.
In this session, you will be able to watch a small group workshop that took place recently and which features artist-participants within the This Is Who We Are project. Maya will guide the participants using counter-mapping techniques to subversively map the spaces we exist in. The event will explore the creating of storytelling and indigenous knowledge. It will not just be about geographical data, but also those things we might hold dear or important, and ways of mapping that can encompass our own perspectives of place, survival, and belonging.
The participants will use creative writing and image making to explore a location of significance to us, for example ‘places of achievement’ or ‘best eateries’, and create story-markers using text, image and video to represent the stories. Suitable for 16+.
This session is to give future guests who are interested in attending the 28 March Countermapping Workshop with Maya Chowdhry a taster of what to expect and what will take place, as well as to offer those new to Countermapping some insights into what it can offer.
This event is part of THIS IS WHO WE ARE, a project by and for women of colour as part of the British Council's UK-Australia Season 2021-2022. You can find out more about the wider TIWWA project here
