MYTHS AND MURALS is a cross-cultural public art and literacy project between Melbourne and East Timor, promoting a common sense of national identity through art and story and collaborative strategies for engagement between Australian and East Timorese artists.
THE MYTHS
Affirm Press has produced 4,000 children’s books, based on the Timorese creation legend, The Boy and the Crocodile. The book, The Boy and the Crocodile was created by children from Familia HOPE Orphanage in Gleno, East Timor, and proceeds from the sale of the book support the orphanage. As part of MYTHS AND MURALS 4,000 books, translated into East Timor’s national language, Tetun, are being distributed across the 13 districts of East Timor to schools and libraries.
THE MURALS
Public Art has provided a unique opportunity for youth to regain their voice in a modern context in East Timor, as explored through Peace of Wall: Street Art from East Timor, a publication encompassing a four-year collection of images and interviews, by Chris Parkinson.
As part of MYTHS AND MURALS, 13 murals will be painted in public locations in each of the 13 districts of East Timor. The murals will leave unique cultural heritage for cultural tourism and serve as a symbolic reminder of East Timor's shared identity and the spirit of collaboration.
Using The Boy and the Crocodile in a workshop environment, artists from East Timor's free art school, Arte Moris, lead students through the visualisation of their region’s myths. Students and teachers then collaborate on painting these stories, leaving a topographic shape of a crocodile over the map of East Timor. and unique points of inter-generational exchange.
