As part of RMIT’s Digital Storytelling studio, we are running a series of mixer events and workshops focused on storytelling across disciplines, manifestations and modalities. Everyone is invited.
These events support coming together as an RMIT community, nurturing spaces for diverse forms of storytelling and empowering a wider range of voices to share their stories.
Storytelling in All its Guises: Gender, Body and Identity
Audience: Staff
Date: 23 October 2025
Time: 4:30pm–6:30pm

Enoki (Dja Dja Wurrung and Yorta Yorta) will discuss their unique approach to storytelling and give us insights into their process.
Please join us at 4:30pm for cheese, wine and play and to meet the City North project leads. Enoki’s talk will start at 5pm with an informal Q&A.
Enoki is a proud Dja Dja Wurrung and Yorta Yorta Blak Fulla (They/Them) based in Wurundjeri Country (Melbourne). A multi-media artist exploring the themes of Blakness and Queer Identity, they are heavily inspired by the ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s artists, rap, hip-hop and pop culture.

Storytelling in All its Guises: Sound
Audience: Staff
Date: 6 November 2025
Time: 4:30pm–6:30pm
Venue: Rocking Chair Lounge, Building 12, Level 6, Room 105, City campus.
Our second mixer focuses on how sound can be used to tell unexpected stories about our lives, our experiences and our passions. From an interview to a sound bite, music to recording nature – we are surrounded by an ephemeral landscape of noise – but how might we capture, edit and refine that landscape and develop a story?
We will also have the opportunity to hear from a number of City North Activation projects at this mixer. Come along and get excited about the amazing work happening here at RMIT.

Storytelling in All its Guises: Public Art
Audience: Staff
Date: 20 November 2025
Time: 4:30pm–6:30pm
Venue: Rocking Chair Lounge, Building 12, Level 6, Room 105, City campus.
Our third mixer focuses on how we can tell stories in the public realm using simply materials – cut outs and stencils from paper, wood or vinyl. Public Art is often large and permanent, but how are stories that require a transitory moment being told? Come and hear from storytellers using materials that are less permanent, ephemeral or trace-like to see how and why they use these modalities and the impact it can have on how we experience these stories.
We will also have the opportunity to hear from a number of City North Activation projects at this mixer. Come along and get excited about the amazing work happening here at RMIT.
