As a part of the City of Fremantle commitment to reconciliation, we are pleased to announce the next project as a part of the cities Truth Telling program.

In partnership with Centre for Stories, the Backyard Truth Telling Series is a multi-sited storytelling program that brings truth telling into the backyards of Walyalup residents to provide an opportunity for the local community to come together to connect, learn and listen to storytellers share their lived experiences, in their own voices, in their own way.

Each event will feature stories from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous members of the local community who will speak about difficult truths, hidden histories and reimagined futures, with a focus on stories that speak to the impacts of colonisation and to the resilience and self-determination of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

After stories are shared, audience members are invited to join informal yarning circles and share their own stories in a safe and supported space.

Enjoy local acoustic music by twilight with light food provided.

Your host for the evening will be the storytellers mentor, the wonderful Ron Bradfield Jnr.
