Lecture / Talk

Oral Histories passed down by matrilineal story telling have sustained Melanesian cultures for generations. For many, these histories become a central part of their approach to life and creative practice, offering a rich, layered and emotive foundation to their work and identity. Join us for a conversation between women across generations as they discuss how their life’s work of making these stories visible has been a pathway for healing and connection.

Join us for a discussion on practices of storytelling around Indigenous histories and futures connected to the Great Ocean.

Join Blue Humanities Lab (ANU and JCU) and the University of Queensland Art Museum researchers in conversation on Blue Humanities. They will be introducing their forthcoming publication "Critical Approaches to the Australian Blue Humanities", followed by a panel discussion.
