In 2015, Dolord Mindi began a contemporary photography program, helping Indigenous photographers explore creativity and storytelling through the camera lens.

In the lead up to the 2015 Mowanjum Festival, Perth organisation Camera Story led photography workshops and training at Mowanjum, helping Mowanjum artists to build skills and cultural resources, as well as document their own stories.

These workshops engaged both arts workers from the Mowanjum Art & Culture Centre as well as young community members who showed an interest in learning vocational camera skills.

In 2024 Camera Story and First Block Sounds worked with young female students and artists and delivered an intriguing photo exhibition "Woman in the arts".

After ten years of photography, Mowanjum Arts has skilled photography artists, like Mary-Loy Orliyarli Divilli, but discovers also new talents among the new generation.

The Camera Story experience for me was awesome... I have learnt so many new things about using a camera and I am really grateful that Jackie and Sarah came to Mowanjum Art Centre. Thank you guys.
