Add to calendar Register here The City of Fremantle and Centre for Stories are proud to announce the return of the Backyard Truth Telling Series—a multi-sited storytelling program that brings truth-telling into the backyards of Walyalup/Fremantle residents this May. Backyard Truth Telling is seeking emerging and established Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian storytellers to share their lived experiences—in their own voices, in their own way. Participants will have the opportunity to attend three storytelling workshops in April facilitated by the program’s mentor Ron Bradfield Jnr, a Bard and Jawi saltwater artist and storyteller, who supports people to share their stories in ways that feel safe and empowering. Across three weekends in May, selected storytellers and community members will be invited into backyards in and around Walyalup/Fremantle to listen to stories that speak to the tough truths of our often untold past and the resilience and self-determination of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Come along to our information session at Walyalup Fremantle Arts Centre to learn more about the program and EOI process.
