The City of Albany is proud to host an exhibition showcasing artworks from the Wirlomin Noongar Language and Stories picture books at the Albany Town Hall next month.
The Wirlomin Noongar Language and Stories community group is dedicated to preserving and revitalising the rich cultural heritage of the Noongar people in south-western Australia.
Led by Elders, the group engages in activities that foster appreciation for the enduring stories of the south coast.
Through language workshops, storytelling sessions, and community events, the group consolidates and shares stories and songs to ensure their heritage is passed down to future generations.
These efforts have led to the publication of six picture books, presenting revitalised stories connected to ancestral places on the south coast.
The books feature captivating tales of whale journeys, groper boys, spirit fights, and dogs that turn into seals.
