Gadigal Information Service has launched an audio archive project titled ‘99 Stories’ that will engage with Sydney’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to record and document 99 stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander experience.
Developed by Gadigal in partnership with the City of Sydney and Blacktown Council, the 99 Stories archive will provide a valuable and much needed shared resource for Indigenous communities, young people, educators and historians. Gadigal aims to form relationships with other relevant cultural organisations to ensure the preservation of recorded content.
The project aims to celebrate the diversity of Indigenous experience in Australia by making these stories available to the world through a digital platform. Recordings will also serve to educate non-Indigenous audiences on Aboriginal experience and perspectives, fostering greater understanding and mutual respect.
If you would like to share your story as part of the 99 Stories project, please contact Daniel Tuwai on 02 9384 4000 or via email at arts@gadigal.org.au
