Emotional literacy animations in Pitjantjatjara and Ngaanyatjarra. Developed by and for Anangu living in the central desert region to keep language strong - in particular the language for talking about mental health.

This is a story about growing up. It was created by Glorianne Lewis in the italk training program at Alice Springs Correctional Centre.

A part of the compilation created for the Alice Springs Desert Festival 2017, produced as part of the italk Media Training at Alice Springs Correctional Centre

In prison, everybody has a story. Here at italk, we enable people to share those stories.

italk Media Training starts where people are strong. Strong in speaking their own language. Strong in making pictures. Strong at telling stories.

Starting with these strengths, trainees learn the skills to produce a short video about their life. Throughout the creative process, people can think about what is important to them. Where am I now? Where do I want to be?

Empowered Communities is a national reform initiative created by Aboriginal people, for Aboriginal people. In central Australia's Ngaanyatjarra, Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara (NPY) Lands a collaboration of strong Aboriginal organisations are working together with families, communities, service providers and Government to ensure a coordinated approach to addressing locally identified needs and priorities. This ground-up approach ensures that Aboriginal people have the authority and responsibility for leading the decision-making about the programs and services delivered in their communities.

Maureen O'Keefe is a local artist and writer from Barkly Arts in Tennant Creek. She has been painting for over 7 years, find out about her and the stories behind her painting.

Part of a series of seven short films incorporating illustration and animation about some of the artists from Ampilatwatja. Developed by Lara Damiani. Produced by Caroline Hunter and Lara Damiani

The Artists of Ampilatwatja community was established in 1999 near Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. The work produced by the artists is recognisably distinct from other Aboriginal artistic communities, due to the application of fine dots and the often bright and child-like figurative depiction of the land.

Most of the artists paint Arreth, which translates to ‘strong bush medicine’, demonstrating a deep connection to country. A veritable source of life, the land has provided and sustained Alyawarr people for generations, as every plant and animal has a vital role to play within the ecological system. The paintings pay homage to the significance and use of traditional bush medicine, allowing an insight into their community. Yet underneath the iridescent surfaces, there is an underlying sense that there is more to these landscapes than meets the eye. In keeping with the religious laws, the artists reveal only a small amount of knowledge to the uninitiated. The esoteric information that is held sacred to these artists and their people is concealed from the public and layered underneath the common visual narrative, masked by the delicate layered dots of the painting. The many levels of interpretation permit artists to present their art to an often culturally untutored public without compromising its religious nature. Artists talk of two broad levels of interpretation, the “inside” stories which are restricted to those of the appropriate ritual standing, and the “outside” stories which are open to all.

On the Black Chair is a video and web-based project which captures ten stories from community members both elders and young people. Community members were invited to sit in a 'black chair' that had been allocated for storytelling, and share a story of their choice. The community embraced this concept and the chair travelled around Balgo and Mulan to people's houses, out bush and in the Culture Centre.
