The Past Matters. Another success thanks to Meera Govil and Eltham Bookshop and the Nillumbik Reconciliation Group. Numerous highlights included Anita Heiss discussing her novel Paris Dreaming and explaining why she uses 'chick lit' as a means of presenting contemporary Indigenous issues and subjectivities and a poetry performance by Aly Cobby Eckerman and the legend, Lionel Fogarty.
Lionel chooses one of his poems while Aly zooms in.
After a long day a photo with Meera.

The Office Warming. Nice to catch up with some of our friends and collaborators who made their way to our new offices through a late autumn rainstorm. A heterodox group of professional staff, academics, philosophers, postgrads and undergraduates filled the rooms with warmth and plus energy.
Two of our friends: undergraduate Torie Mcwilliams-Murray and Steph Batsakis. Steph majored in Australian Indigenous Studies and is now completing the Melbourne Law School's Juris Doctor. Torie is starting to consider the range of possibilities offered by an arts degree at the University of Melbourne.
