The Wheeler Centre

Stan Grant delves into time, family and spirituality in his compelling new work, Murriyang, with host Scott Stephens. Stan Grant returns to Melbourne for this end-of-year conversation at The Wheeler Centre, marking the release of his latest book, Murriyang. In this book Grant reflects, in part, on the outcome of the 2023 Voice to Parliament referendum through an entirely new lens. Positioning this moment in history away from Western notions of linear time, he captures much more in a reflection on the history, literature, theology, music and art that have shaped him. Drawing on Wiradjuri spirituality and the practice of Yindyamarra — a philosophy of deep respect and thoughtful reflection — he illuminates what it means to seek truth in an era of profound change. Renowned for his journalism, advocacy and piercing insights into Australia’s cultural fabric, Grant invites us to pause and consider the spiritual and social forces shaping our world today. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear from one of Australia’s most influential voices.
