As part of it's annual flagship festival, the ANU School of Culture, History & Language — in partnership with the National Museum of Australia and the Cad Factory — is pleased to present a special screening of the documentary More Than A Fish Kill followed by a panel discussion that will explore how cross-cultural and cross-sector collaboration can support water justice, cultural flows and living better with our rivers.

Facilitated by Professor Simon Haberle from the ANU School of Culture, History & Language/ARC Centre of Excellence for Indigenous and Environmental Histories and Futures (CIEHF), the panel will feature:

Dr Vic McEwan, Artistic Director of the Cad Factory
Dr Kirsten Wehner, James O Fairfax Senior Fellow in Culture and Environment at the National Museum of Australia
Associate Professor Ray Tobler from the ANU School of Culture, History & Language/the ARC Centre of Excellence for Indigenous and Environmental Histories and Futures, Node Lead
Ngunnawal custodian and ACT Government Indigenous water policy officer Bradley Bell.

More than a Fish Kill explores how artists, fishery managers and First Nations custodians came together in the aftermath of the devastating 2019 and 2023 mass fish death events along the Barka/Baaka (Darling River). Together, they turned these ecological disasters into catalysts for cultural connection and revival. The film tells the story of a remarkable collaboration that interweaves art, science and ancient knowledge to care for communities, honour our rivers and reshape how we live, now and into the future.
