Let Truth Be Told Anthology Launch

Join us for a welcoming, all-day community event to celebrate the launch of our anthology, Let Truth Be Told, featuring memoir, essays and poetry from First Nations and culturally diverse writers living across Western Australia. These stories are part of our First Stories and Solid Connections project, dedicated to amplifying First Nations truths, and nurturing intercultural connections and solidarity in our communities.  

Throughout the day, there will be workshops, live anthology readings, yarning circles, and other opportunities to engage with the ideas and practices behind truth-telling and truth-listening.

The Welcome to Country will be held at 9:00am at Manjaree Precinct - all are welcome. The Birak poetry walk, guided by a First Nations poet and an Elder, will lead us to the Fremantle Town Hall for our first panel starting at 10:45am.

Buffet style grazing boards from Kuditj Kitchen will be available for lunch from 12-12:30 for all attendees, while we enjoy a special performance from the Walyalup Kannajil Choir. An opportunity to make meaningful connections with others in your community.

Please RSVP individually to each session of the program you'd like to attend, including the Welcome to Country & Lunch.
