Abstract

Storytelling is a universally recognisable genre inherent in all human life. The ability to narrate transcends difference, providing a space from where stories are made and unmade, through the voices (however manifest) of storytellers. The capacity to narrate does not discriminate by gender, age or class, nor is it limited contextually. Instead, stories prioritise the voice(s) and perspective(s) chosen of and by storytellers and by extension, every story is laden with silence(s), elements of life and context that remain untold, suppressed and/or, are absent.
