Writing as Activism: Debra Dank and Vanessa Turnbull-Roberts

  • Ashfield Town Hall 260 Liverpool Road Ashfield, NSW, 2131 Australia (map)

With Terraglossia, the name of her latest release and a term coined by Debra Dank in response to the first Europeans’ description of Australia as ‘terra nullius’ – no one’s land, Debra takes action to reclaim a stolen voice. Vanessa Turnbull-Roberts shares her incredible story in Long Yarn Short to drive positive change for First Nations youth. Both are fighting for change through their writing.

Join award-winning writer Debra Dank and debut memoirist Vanessa Turnbull-Roberts as they discuss the past, present and future of writing as activism.

Event is free but bookings are essential.
