Abstract
This chapter shares an overview of the Australian branch of the Mapping A/r/tography Project, which sought to engage in transnational storytelling across historical and cultural routes of significance through the methodologies of a/r/tography, walking and mapping. The inquiry included young people from a secondary school for youth at risk who became researchers through a participatory research framework, and engaged in a deep mapping of connections, ecologies and experiences of the world heritage listed Gondwana Rainforest site through the languages of ecology, Art and creativity. This process mobilised affective knowing as an opening to creative teaching and learning, and emergent geographies of self and other through walkographic inquiry through the development of collaborative and creative exchanges that address storytelling through geo-specific understandings of a/r/tography. This Australian site of the Mapping A/r/tography Project afforded a unique opportunity to initiate innovative pedagogy and curriculum and practical actions that sought to privilege the agency of young people as researchers.
