FRONT YARD SLIDE SHOWS UNLEY

FRONT YARD SLIDE SHOWS is an evolving digital storytelling project that asks people to make a slideshow about the history of their house. Since 2022, a growing collection of 15 short films have been made with local residents living in the City of Unley, that reveal untold stories about the past and the present.

Walk the streets of Unley to view 15 bespoke designed signboards as part of this year’s History Festival or click on the links below to watch online.
