What stories can be told without words? How can...
What stories can be told without words? How can colours, dots, and symbols speak across 65,000 years of human history? In this hands-on and heart-opening workshop, we’ll explore the world of Australian Aboriginal art with Justin, a native Australian with close ties to the Aboriginal community. You’ll learn how to read and understand traditional visual storytelling, discover the meanings behind patterns and colours, and get to know some of the incredible artists keeping this ancient art form alive today. No experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to dive in._x000D_

After learning the techniques and symbolism, we’ll each create our own piece of Aboriginal-inspired artwork, telling a story from our own lives through this powerful visual language. We’ll also listen to music and stories from Aboriginal artists as we paint, gaining deeper insight into one of the world’s oldest living cultures. You’ll leave not just with your own meaningful creation, but with a deeper appreciation for Aboriginal art, storytelling, and spirit._x000D_
