WELCOME TO AMY WHITEMAN PHOTOGRAPHY

This film is a Frame driven mapping of aspects of Newcastle (Awabakal) culture. We decided to focus on several cultural story parts. We represented the Culture of Awabakal through the translation or re-working of Local Aboriginal Artist Shelly Smith’s Weavings. These are Culturally specific to the area, important to her people and the story-telling of this country. We then took these weavings and re-drew or re-told them as tracings. We re-traced the story and re-imagined it as a visitor. So the film is investigating this retelling/visual remapping of culture. Our Project reflects this story. As visitors, we began to ‘Re-Map’ the Awabakal Country we stood upon to find out who we were, who Newcastle was, and what “black story’ lay under the rich dirt. To highlight the Cultural Practice of an Indigenous Artist is to re-map across this town, to re-skin it’s story ….Black
