In person talks 


From Two Sisters, traversing vast desert country, their lives disrupted by the relentlessness of colonial incursions, to Talkin’ up the white woman: Indigenous women and feminism, disrupting the “white subject position” at the heart of feminism, First Nations Women’s voices continue to sustain and maintain cultural integrity grounded in the deep spiritual, intellectual and philosophical knowledge of and connection to Country.

We are delving into our collection to reveal and share the voices of First Nations Women across time and Country. We invite you to our Story Cafes, where we will read to you from an eclectic selection of voices from the past continuing into the present.

Details and booking information will be available on our website and Facebook.

There will be two Story Cafes, dates to be confirmed. Tea and coffee will be provided. There will also be a series of Facebook posts through the week.
