An interactive creative workshop exploring Australian Aboriginal storytelling — from rock art and songlines to digital art, animation and comics
How do ancient stories continue to live in contemporary forms?
In this interactive workshop, Balanggara and Yolngu artist Molly Hunt explores the evolution of storytelling across time — from oral tradition, rock art, and songlines to canvas, digital art, animation, and comics.
Participants will examine how storytelling adapts to new materials and technologies while carrying forward knowledge, memory, and connection to place. Through hands-on group activities, participants will experiment with non-linear storytelling, map stories connected to land and reimagine an old narrative in a contemporary medium.
The workshop highlights how story is not static but living — shifting form while holding cultural responsibility and identity at its core.
Perfect for artists, writers, illustrators, comic artists, educators, and anyone curious about how traditional knowledge can inspire modern visual storytelling. You don’t have to be a professional to participate, all who are interested are welcome.
