Storytime with Aka Sorbie!

Join us in our Children's Gallery exhibition Aka Sorbie: Saltwater Heart for a special story time reading with artist Lisa Sorbie Martin. Known to family as Aka (grandmother), Lisa will read from a series of hand-picked First Nations stories including her book Aka Sorbie and the Sardines, which was specially created for the exhibition. The story shares knowledge about Torres Strait fishing practices and food sources related to the ocean environment where Lisa grew up. 

Children and their adults are invited to hear about prupa ilan pasin – the Torres Strait values teaching love, respect and care for family, community and the environment, woven into this immersive and interactive exhibition.
