#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
What emotions do bodies of water hold? What can a writer create when waves of grief are all there is? In 2021, Anahera and Evelyn collaborated poetically to create ‘a water suite’ as part of Red Room Poetry’s Fair Trade project. In this session they perform their stunning piece and discuss ways in which Indigenous solidarity is shared across time and space.
Panel: Anahera Gildea, Evelyn Araluen
Chair: Michaela Keeble
