In 2016, Animator Jake Duczynski was approached by SBS to work with Angelina Joshua from the remote South East Arnhem Land community of Ngukurr on a project to revive her Grandmother’s first - and now critically endangered - language, Marra.

The result was Walkley Award-winning animation My Grandmother’s Lingo, a beautiful voice-activated interactive story requiring the audience to speak words in Marra to progress through each chapter.

Be sure to join Jake Duczynski for Talking Deadly: My Grandmother’s Lingo as he discusses the development and impact of the animation and the important role tech can play in telling Indigenous stories.
