About the Event

About

Join renowned artist Jonathan Jones and celebrated author Uncle Bruce Pascoe for an in-depth conversation on the profound impacts of colonisation on people, place, and native foods. This compelling event offers an exploration into the rich, resilient history of Australia’s First Nations communities, diving into topics such as land stewardship, traditional ecological knowledge, and the restoration of Indigenous food practices. Through their unique perspectives, Jones and Pascoe will unpack the often-overlooked stories of resilience and adaptation, examining how colonisation has affected the land and its people, and how a renewed focus on Indigenous knowledge is guiding us toward a sustainable future. Pascoe’s acclaimed works, including Dark Emu, have reshaped the narrative around pre-colonial agriculture and sustainability, sparking a national conversation. Don’t miss this powerful exchange as these visionary thinkers illuminate pathways for reconnecting with Country.
