Write where you are - Every story tells a picture

 

"Write Where You Are - Every Story Tells a Picture" is a multigenerational collaborative art exhibition exploring the concept of place through a collaboration between Wombat Regional Arts Network Inc and Moorabool student writers.

The opening exhibition is based around submissions into the 2025 Moorabool Young Writers Awards, which was open to students from Moorabool from Foundation to Year 12. Students were asked to write a narrative which included a Moorabool location or landmark in their story.

The role of the artists was to interpret and visually depict the stories written by students, in their selected medium, creating a dialogue between written narrative and visual representation.
