The TBA Storytelling Program creates a model of contemporary art mediation that combines conventional interpretation with artist-led, narrative and embodied responses to the artworks presented in the Biennial.
For each Biennial, local multidisciplinary artists are commissioned to develop Storytelling sessions created from their personal insights and experiences of the city. Storytellers guide visitors through the exhibition artists’ installations, research, and perspectives and offer regular weekly walks and conversations to intergenerational audiences and school groups throughout the Biennial. TBA further engages Storytellers year-round to support our school and community engagement initiatives.
