Blak & Bright: Official Opening: Read a Blak Book Lately?
We open this year’s Blak & Bright festival with a Welcome to Country, ceremonial song and speeches. Then, hosts Daniel Browning and Evelyn Araluen discuss and review some of the latest – and some of the greatest – Blak books. Hear excerpts and, if you’re lucky, glimpse an author or two.
This event is presented in partnership with Blak & Bright First Nations Literary Festival and Melbourne Writers Festival.
