12-1pm: The Indigenous Voice
Aboriginal groups and Torres Strait Islanders are at the core of Australian identity, but how do people in white Australia and the UK relate to their stories? To explore how Indigenous Australians portray themselves, and are portrayed in a range of literatures, the ANZ Festival welcomes Australian writers Tony Birch and Kate Grenville.
3-4pm: Urgent Narratives: Writing the Environment
Part of the global Weather Stations project, which examines climate change through the prism of literature and storytelling, Weather Stations is working across five international arts organisations including Free Word, London, and the Wheeler Centre, Melbourne.
