KEY CONCEPTS

In response to Hayley Millar Baker’s work, this learning experience focuses on three intersecting concepts: time, memory and story. We encourage you to bring your personal understandings of these concepts to your interpretation of them in this context.
TIME
Time can be thought of as the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present and future. It can also be considered through a cyclical lens, with the past repeating itself through the present.
MEMORY
Memory can entail our recollections of the past, but it can also be a construct (what we choose to remember or how we are conditioned to remember). Memory can also be a source of trauma that is passed on through generations. Memories can be held by people, as well as embedded within Country.
STORY
A story is an account of an event or occurrence which captures the narrative of experience. It may be constructed in truth or imagination or a combination of the two. A story often reflects the narrator’s subjectivity. Engaging with someone else’s story allows us to step outside our own experience.
