Standing Stories is an outdoor gallery of three-dimensional sculptural artworks installed at the 'Back O Bourke' Exhibition Centre, in Bourke NSW.

Each of the sculptures represents a different story and a different aspect of Aboriginal culture and story-telling.

Members of the Bourke community contributed their stories to the project, and worked with a local artist to conceptualise those stories into three-dimensional forms.

The stories that have been told are both ancient and contemporary. They talk about life in the community, about spiritual beliefs, myths, totems and world views.

The Standing Stories films showing the Outback Arts Gallery, capture these and provide a visual representation of the sculptures.

The project, which has seen eight sculptures installed at the Back of Bourke Exhibition Centre has been over 5 years in development. Facilitated by the Bourke Shire Council with funding provided by the NSW Government, the concept gained momentum after an initial concept was supported by Outback Arts.
