Natalie Harkin: Apron-Sorrow/Sovereign Tea

Join Associate Professor Natalie Harkin (Narungga) - poet and Research Fellow with the Critical Indigenous Studies team as Flinders University to celebrate and discuss her Stella Prize nominated new book, Apron-Sorrow/Sovereign Tea. Dr. Harkin will relate her journey with the colonial archives, and specifically the State 'Domestic Service' records, and Archival-poetics as a research method and creative practice. She will illuminate the collaborative research with family and community to document memory stories and produce the creative work for the exhibition and book as a means to reveal and honour Aboriginal women's domestic services stories in South Australia. Dr. Harkin's work stands as a form of archival justice and the unfinished business of Stolen Wages in South Australia, and an urgent reminder that there's no 'truth telling' without access to our archives.
