Alison Whittaker: Opening Address

View descriptionShare

Gomeroi poet, essayist and legal scholar Alison Whittaker takes us through the work of First Nations writers who would have joined us this week as she addresses the 2020 Sydney Writers’ Festival theme, Almost Midnight. She considers our fates – both personal and collective – in a world that feels like it's ending. She looks to the role of hope in our eleventh hour, discussing how storytelling charts triumphs and tragedies while the clock ticks on.
