		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to reader Naomi Sunderland for writing in with a link to 1000 Voices &#8211; a project gathering first person stories of people living with disabilities in Australia to use in disability research, advocacy and policy change. Hosted at Griffith University and sponsored by a range of government and non-government orgs, the project is aiming to gather the stories of 1000 people living with disabilities. The stories so far are mainly text based &#8211; sometimes transcriptions of interviews accompanied by some images, but there is capacity to post multi-media works and video. From the USA comes a project with the same name &#8211; the 1000 voices archive &#8211; which is an online archive and tool for social advocacy. The video vignettes have either been drawn from larger films on particular topics, or are short form films made specifically for the 1000 voices archive project. The Australian 1000 Voices project is linked to a research project, so the stories are forming data for the research. The US archive is well resourced with tools about the themes taken up in each story &#8211; such as laws supporting paid parental leave, or campaigns to deal with new coal power plants being built on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Contemporary Australian Aboriginal art can be argued to be one of the most well known examples of collaborative ethnographic practice using creative art &#8211; the multiple functions of works, the layers of inter and cross-cultural collaboration shaping the works, the underlying relationship of Aboriginal painting to story, culture and cultural expression &#8211; all qualities that mark the broad category of contemporary Australian Aboriginal art as a form of collaborative creative ethnographic practice. See the recent Canning Stock Route exhibition &#8220;Yiwarra Kuju&#8221; at the Australian Museum for illustration of what I mean. The Aboriginal art industry has been going for many decades now and has been the subject of much scholarship, journalism and debate. It has a lot to teach us about the issues that can confront and shape collaborative ethnography/art practices. Issues such as the overlaps and competition of different agendas driving the creative practice (cultural maintenance, economic independence and engagement with &#8216;mainstream&#8217; markets, such as the market for &#8216;high&#8217; art for example);  the reception of works, their value, both financial and cultural and who benefits from this value; the kinds of organisations that emerge to support collaborative ethnographic/art practices and how these organisations shape the kinds of work made.

		<description><![CDATA[How do we use visual ethnography to represent places? Landscape images alone often render a place somewhat opaque &#8211; capturing a static moment, leaving out the dynamism of country, weather, sensory experience, encounters, people and their lived stories. For me some of the most successful uses of the visual in telling stories of place rely on layering, building up pictures over time or from different points of view. An interesting project that is attempting to represent the many facets of place using  visual forms is the Pilbara Project - the most recent project of FORM, funded by an ongoing partnership with mining company BHP Billiton. FORM has sponsored a number of artists &#8211; mostly photographers and videographers, but also some writers &#8211; to take journeys through the Pilbara, a region in central Western Australia most famous as the site of some of Australias richest mines. The result is presented as an exhibition, much of which can be seen on the project web site. FORM is also inviting people to submit their stories of the Pilbara, for what I assume will be another participatory layer of the project to be released down the track.

		<description><![CDATA[Recently published by Magabala Books is &#8220;Our World: Bardi Jaawi Life at Ardiyooloon&#8221;, a collaborative ethnography of Bardi culture as enacted through the One Arm Point Community School Culture Program. One Arm Point is an Aboriginal community on the Dampier Penninsula, North West of Broome, Western Australia. The  book draws on materials made out of a Culture Program run through the One Arm Point Community School, in which all kids at the school participate in fortnightly  Culture Days and culture is integrated into the broader school curriculum. The &#8220;Our World: Bardi Jaawi Life at Ardiyooloon&#8221; book, and the One Arm Point Community School Culture Program are an example of how collaborative ethnography is being used in Indigenous education in Australia. The materials in the book began as small laminated booklets (and accompanying DVD&#8217;s) made following each Culture Day. Students, teachers, community elders and Aboriginal and Islander Education Officers (AIEO&#8217;s) documented cultural activities and lessons for use in the classroom and distribution in the community. The process of learning cultural knowledge (such as traditional hunting techniques, language words and phrases, cultural knowledge about local places, season, weather and tides&#8230;) is done in a practical way in the Culture Program, with kids, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Out of South Australia comes the newest incarnation of Big Stories Small Towns, a project in which resident film makers have made portrait films about people in the communities of Port Augusta, Murray Bridge and Raukkan. There are also some films made by community members themselves, these are well worth having a look at, with a more personal, less documentary tone. The films are all available on the web and form a patchwork portrait of the places and the themes that run through communities. Also an interesting link in the world of participatory media, one of the Big Stories producers, Martin Potter, also worked on the Cambodian part of the NFBC High Rise project&#8230; www.bigstories.com.au]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following the boom of media making by Indigenous people in Australia in recent years the challenges of how to archive and make accessible Indigenous-made materials, as well as repatriate historical and anthropological materials to Indigenous communities, have led to a some interesting community based archiving and multi-media projects. The Mulka Project, is based in the Yolgnu community of Yirrkala, in East Arneham land&#8230; &#8220;The Mulka Project provides meaningful employment and empowerment to the Yirrkala community by allowing Yolngu Aboriginal People to take control of documents of their culture in modern digital media. On one side is the repatriation of valuable documentation of the region&#8217;s cultural heritage that is kept in outside collections. The other is training Yolngu to take the reigns of modern media to tell their own stories from now on.&#8221; Scroll down their home page to see a short video about the project and explore the website for all sorts of interesting content. They have produced a variety of music CD&#8217;s, video clips and other documentary type videos. Check out the video link to watch a range of this material. The Ara Irititja Project (which means ‘stories from a long time ago’ in the language of Pitjantjatjara and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the theme of digital stories (see previous post) I realised that I have not posted anything about some of the foundation organisations of the digital storytelling movement- for example  the Center for Digital Storytelling in Berkley California which has established a model of digital story telling that has been widely taken up and adapted in Australia (and elsewhere). You can check out their site at www.storycenter.org where you can read their digital story telling recipe book, see case studies and order more resources. The Center for Digital Storytelling has done digital storytelling workshops and training all over the world, and worked on a variety of health and social issues, such as domestic violence and the impacts of HIV/AIDS. Check out a project they collaborated on in 2007 with HIV positive people in South Africa called Amplifying Voices. As the site for this project says the digital stories are made available as advocacy tools &#8211; an increasingly common goal of first person narratives, the idea being that the stories and experiences of real people told in their own voices are particularly potent for raising social and health issues and removing stigma. In Australia we can thank ACMI (The Australian Centre [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Launched this week at the National Film and Sound Archive in Canberra, Australia was a series of short films (digital stories) made by people who have experienced mental illness about their paths to recovery.  They have been posted on the Mental Illness Education ACT website as part of their community education and storybox program. Made in recent months these first person stories are an example of the increasing use of digital story telling as a tool in health promotion and education, here in Australia and internationally. Check out the Moving Minds films by clicking here. For those of you in Canberra who want to see a proper (ie on a large screen) screening of the 13 films there will be an encore screening on Thursday 20th of May 2010 at the ANU School of Art at 6pm (for a 6.30 start).]]></description>
