The Ngarra Atlas goes beyond providing an interactive way to explore and discover stories and projects. You will notice that on the map places and territories are renamed to the way it is supposed to be; sharing traditional place names, and native lands. By redefining and redirecting the way we see the world, this unique exploration tool allows us to delve into the rich tapestry of narratives that come from place, fostering a profound connection between story, place, and people. Stories are deeply intertwined with the lands they emerge from. Each piece of content on our platform is thoughtfully mapped onto traditional native lands around the world, providing a powerful and meaningful context for storytelling. As you embark on your exploration, you will uncover stories that are intimately connected to the landscapes, cultures, and histories of these indigenous territories. Through the atlas we invite you to embark on a journey of rediscovery and restoration. By immersing yourself in narratives anchored in First Nations and indigenous lands, you will gain a deeper understanding of the profound relationships between story and place. This journey allows us to reestablish our connections with the lands we inhabit, fostering a sense of reverence and stewardship for the Earth we all call Home.
A Ngarra Project is a transformative experience that brings together youth, photographers, artists, educators, and community to capture the life of culture through powerful storytelling and photography. Through community collaboration these Projects act as a way to preserve traditions, share unique perspectives, and foster positive change for both the communities involved and the wider world, and forster economic empowerment with the work being supported through our galleries and exhibitions – but the core of the Ngarra project starts here.
A Ngarra Exhibition is a captivating celebration of photography, film, art, culture, and storytelling from a Project. It showcases the captivating work of young photographers from community, sharing their unique perspectives, cultural heritage, traditions, passions, and ways of life. Through the use of an auction, these limited edition exhibited artworks find new homes, with every dollar raised going directly back to the communities, supporting education, healthcare, and sustainable development initiatives. It’s an empowering event that fosters cross-cultural connections, sparks conversations, and leaves a positive impact on both the communities and the hearts of all who attend.
