There isn't one Australian that doesn't have a survival story to thank for their being a part of our society. I invite participants to share their stories and hear how we've come together to form the communities we know now. How much do you know of your family's survival story and how far back behind you, is it?

A generous and warm yarning experience for everyone.

Let's find out!
Tea, coffee & snacks provided.

BIO
Ron Bradfield Jnr is a Bard, Jawi man of the saltwater peoples around Djarindjin, Western Australia. Born in Mooniemia (Northampton), he grew up in Jambinu (Geraldton), but now calls Walyalup (Fremantle) his home.

As a storyteller and artist, Ron tells and makes stories that unpick his own personal experiences surviving our society and what it is to be ‘Australian’. As the eldest son of a Stolen Generation's mother, Ron presents stories of himself as a child, as an adult and as an ex-serving member, of the Australian Defence Force. 

Tapping into the physical memories of a time past through the use of familiar objects and Australian culture markers, Ron retells his stories, challenging today’s Australians about how they remember the places they grew up in and the experiences they had, well away from the reality of Aboriginal and Islander peoples. 

Ron's residency at Cannery Arts Centre is supported by ART ON THE MOVE and the WA Government, through the Regional Arts Venues Support program enabling us to expand our artistic programming to present touring exhibitions.
