Signposts: stories for our fragile times

State Library Victoria

Event Date: 4 June 2020 to 5 August 2020
Author / Presenters: State Library Victoria and the University of Melbourne’s Faculty of Arts.

Join award-winning author Alexis Wright as she talks to some of Australia’s finest storytellers about catastrophe, resilience and hope.

We are living in increasingly fragile times. Social and economic inequalities endure, our natural world is being destroyed, and forced migration leaves millions displaced.

Writers have always taken inspiration from their environments – so what kind of stories will emerge from these uncertain times?

Presented in partnership with the University of Melbourne’s Faculty of Arts.
