'Now we can see our song': When the oral/aural becomes visual. Animation and the cross-generational transfer of knowledge

The Yanyuwa language of the south west Gulf of Carpentaria is, as with many other Indigenous languages, critically endangered. This seminar describes the development of methods to record important stories about family and country. Beginning with the Yanyuwa atlas to more recent developments using animation as a tool to try and bridge knowledge gaps between older and younger generations. This is a work in process that involves the use of new technologies but at the same time attempting to be true to an original way of understanding country and all that it contains in regard to understanding of Law and family. Embedded within this project is the old people's hope that a restructuring of individual and group identity may be possible in order for younger people to understand the value of their country and the knowledge that belongs to it.
