Emerging Writers’ Festival and Blak & Bright are coming together for ‘Memory Before Eyes: A Walking & Writing Workshop’ on Saturday 13 September.

Join Taungurung Elder Uncle Larry Walsh and his daughter Isobel Morphy-Walsh for a meander through the arts precinct of the city, pointing out sites that link to the cultural memory of Naarm. From tales of museums keeping ancestors and the fight for their return, to sites of contemporary political and cultural action, to history being made, each turn will be a reminder that Country is layered with memory and survival.

Following the walk, Uncle Larry and Isobel will lead a writing workshop, taking inspiration from the history, memory and narrative that exists all around us. 

This event is a pay what you can, but registration is a must!
