Same Like Yesterday: Virlkuthalypila and Other Stories from Our Country offers audiences a unique opportunity to learn about the rich cultural heritage of the Adnyamathanha people in South Australia, engaging with the diversity of First Nations’ knowledge, culture and storytelling traditions across the country.
Best described as a giant pop-up story book, Same Like Yesterday is a beautifully animated, 30-minute artwork that takes audiences on a stunning journey through Adnyamathanha Country, as six senior Adnyamathanha women and two young women travel through Ikara (the Flinders Ranges) in the footsteps of Virlkuthalypila, the Two Women from the Yura Muda (Dreamtime).
The work is a collaboration between the Adnyamathanha community and SharingStories Foundation, an award-winning non-profit organisation dedicated to maintaining and sharing First Nations language, stories, and cultural heritage from across Australia.
The work also comes with a FREE Teacher Resource Kit (copy attached), which includes:
• A FREE Australian Curriculum (ACARA) and Victorian Curriculum (VCAA) aligned unit plan (targeting ages 8 – 12)
• Pre- and post- event activities to support learning, including yarning circle prompts
• Adnyamathanha-developed Classroom Protocols
• Access to the interactive online version of the work via SharingStories Foundation education platform, Jajoo Warrngara: The Culture Classroom
All 11am and 2pm sessions will be followed by a Q&A with members of the SharingStories team and members of the Adnyamathanha community.
Home education families and groups are offered access to this event free of charge.
Suitable for ages 6+.
Presented by: SharingStories Foundation and the Adnyamathanha Community
