On the Black Chair; Joan Mary Nagomara

Added by Warlayirti Artists Aboriginal Corporation

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.
