In Visible Ink: Beyond Story

International Symposium

Thu 21 Feb 2019Fri 22 Feb 2019

WA Maritime Museum


The world around us is full of stories.

They have been handed down through countless generations of First Peoples. They exist in the small souvenirs carried in battered suitcases, and the traditions we hold on to. They are the stories of lands left behind and seas crossed by many migrants that have made Australia home.

Many of these stories are invisible, stories of belonging, and dispossession, and trauma and hope.

Seeing these stories is a deliberate act. Much of the history we have been taught tells us one story out of many others.

In Visible Ink: Beyond Story aims to make stories of people and communities marginalised by race and religion visible, in order to catalyse them and inspire meaningful social change.

Over the course of our project we will hear from storytellers, artists and educators who have grappled with the process of sharing hidden truths to inspire compassion and change.

We will engage in conversation about how difficult stories of race and religion are told, how we can make room for these diverse narratives in our collective and cultural memory and harness their power to create change.

This inaugural symposium is presented by the Museum of Freedom and Tolerance in collaboration with the WA Museum. It will be held at the WA Maritime Museum on Thursday 21 and Friday 22 February.
