This is your front row pass to the world’s most intriguing storytellers, as powered by you.
This week, say hello to Bruce Pascoe and Lyn Harwood, who recently joined me live-on-stage at Wurdi Youang, Geelong Library and Heritage Centre (The Dome) which is available to watch below.
Bruce Pascoe is the best selling author of Dark Emu - a book which ignited a conversation about Australia's origin stories, challenging colonial myths that justified dispossession.
But when Dark Emu was adopted like a new anthem, Bruce found himself at the centre of a debate that often focussed on the wrong part of the story. In their new book, Black Duck: A Year At Yumburra, Bruce Pascoe and Lyn Harwood describe what happened next.
In this SOLD OUT and LIVE conversation, Bruce and Lyn sit down with me to talk about the consequences and responsibility of disrupting Australia’s history with a new (ancient) story.
Presented in partnership with The Book Bird.
