DESCRIPTION:The Living Archive of Aboriginal Art and Knowledge project see
 ks to reveal the dynamic and interconnected relationships of First Nations
  Australians with their collections located in Galleries\, Libraries\, Arc
 hives\, Museums (GLAMs) across the world. Part of this process includes ex
 ploring Storytelling as an Indigenous method of enquiry that challenges th
 e way 'archives' structure Indigenous histories and cultural heritage. Sto
 rytelling is an embodied practice and can be reflected through oral transm
 ission (often supporting traditional languages)\; artmaking\; photography\
 ; performance\; writing and other expressions of cultural production. The 
 Living Archive is supported by the practice of Storytelling and is entwine
 d with an ongoing past\, located in the present and future orientated – 
 reflecting Indigenous knowledge systems. In this discussion we will outlin
 e our concept of the Living Archive in relation to the work of Mutti Mutti
 /Yorta Yorta/Wemba Wemba/Boonwurrung artist Maree Clarke and her great nep
 hew Mitch Mahoney (Boonwurrung/Barkindji)\, as they work in Maree's backya
 rd/artists' studio to revitalise their Ancestral material culture and stor
 ies. We will also discuss our work with the Ngukurr community in southeast
  Arnhem Land\, Northern Territory\, reinstating their ongoing connections 
 with their Ancestral collections held in GLAMs to produce a Living Archive
 .
