Aboriginal Storytelling:

Storytelling is an integral part of life for Indigenous Australians. In the past, stories were shared verbally around the fire. Now in modern times these stories are told and archived via multi-media and (digital) productions.

The meaning behind the name:

Kambarang is one of the Noongar Seasons - October through to November. During the Kambarang season, we see an abundance of colours and flowers exploding all around us. Many things are undergoing transformation with the warm change in the weather. It is the season of birth. 

And much like this season, these films represent an explosion of culture, narrative, history and truth-telling. They are modern ‘message-sticks’ helping transform the wider community to engage in Aboriginal narratives and issues whilst nurturing the representation of stories from an Aboriginal perspective and story-frame.
