Indigemoji is a digital arts and inclusion project which developed the first set of Indigenous emojis from Australia. The emojis were created by over 900 young Aboriginal people during seven weeks of digital art workshops held at the public library in Mparntwe/Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. It was the first time many of the young people had ever used an iPad or any graphic design software.
Led by senior Arrernte leaders and linguists, with a team of Indigenous artists, designers, and programmers, the project resulted in a sticker set of 90 emojis, each with a name in Arrernte, the traditional language and culture of Mparntwe/Alice Springs. The set features local hand signs, plants, faces, and symbols. Emojis were also developed for special totemic animals, many of which are endangered or extinct, to promote their memory, their names, their places--a way of keeping them in the landscape.
The sticker set was launched for public use via a free app in November 2019, the International Year of Indigenous Languages. It was downloaded over 40,000 times in its first week.
Indigemoji offers a new means of communicating online at a time of rapid growth in connectivity in the remote deserts of Central Australia. It provided digital skills development, mentoring, and access to technology for young people who were able to contribute to a culturally relevant product that is now being used in daily life in their communities. It is a small but significant step towards improving the representation and inclusion of the many diverse cultures and languages of Australia in digital technologies.
