#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
Writers’ festivals, panel discussions and book launches are important cultural experiences in Australia – but while Creative Australia’s 2022 National Arts Participation Survey showed that First Nations peoples are highly engaged in the arts, many of them believe that ‘cultural and creative experiences are not for me’. Join these writers as they imagine what the ideal, inclusive and joyful literary event might look like for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander writers.
