Lost Tales Live

This year’s NAIDOC Week theme is ‘Our Languages Matter’ and what better way to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait languages than to listen to a woven tapestry of folklore by Gamilaroi man Travis De Vries. In this special Saturday afternoon event, visitors can take a seat in the Australian Museum and hear stories and music from the undocumented side of our shared history – from spirits and creatures to the hidden stories of objects from the museum’s Indigenous cultural collections. Lost Tales Live includes music from a cellist and specially commissioned animations that draw from the sacred myths and legends of Australia and its first peoples. There’ll be a chance for a Q&A, plus an opportunity view the collection.
