inVISIBILITY: An Urban Aboriginal Education Connections Project was a two-phase event and outreach activity bridging the gap between stakeholders in Education and Urban Aboriginal Communities. The first phase was a digital storytelling workshop for Aboriginal students, parents, and teachers to explore and represent their experiences of schooling; the second phase was an art exhibition and speaker series during which the digital stories were screened. Overall our goal is to provide a forum in which Aboriginal people can present their stories through the arts and engage non-Aboriginal communities in learning.
