Curator's talk at WAMA...

What I learnt from the curator's tour at Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA), despite not being an art fashionado of any description, was the importance of storytelling - regardless of the medium. I was able to appreciate the collection of works in the Unsettling exhibition at MAMA in terms of narrative and the story inside the story.
Art, like great storytelling, means different things to the viewer and can be interpreted by our knowledge, our backgrounds and personal experiences.
This session is a great example of the breadth of the Writers in Action experience, for which I am extremely grateful.
