Aligning with OUR MOB and OUR STORIES as a celebration of First Nations cultures, Country and community, OUR WORDS showcases some of Australia’s most exciting and innovate First Nations writers, creatives and poets for a series of panels and conversations.
OUR WORDS 2023 focuses on the published word. We’ll hear from a diverse line up of First Nations writers about the importance of having their work published and celebrate this modern tool of preservation.
This panel conversation on the Art of Arts Writing will explore creative process, critique, review, and response where literature and art intersect. With panellists, Tristen Harwood (Ngalakgan) and Jessica Clark (palawa/pallawah).
Presented as part of Tarnanthi 2023.
Gary Lonesborough (Yuin), author of The Boy from the Mish will be joined in conversation with Dominic Guerrera (Ngarrindjeri, Kaurna) about his newly released follow up novel, We Didn’t Think It Through.
