Word of Mouth - home and hope

Storytelling is about connecting, preserving and sharing. In the era of ChatGPT, stories may be more important than ever.

This conversation between friends and colleagues, Chemutai Glasheen and Yirga Gelew Woldeyes offers an opportunity for audiences to gain insight into the significance of the oral storytelling traditions of their respective cultures and how these traditions have informed the evolution of their written work. ‘Hope’ is also a common theme shared by both writers and Chemutai and Yirga will reflect on the relevance of ‘hope’ in their writing.

Presented in association with the WA Maritime Museum
