About the lecture

As we hold our breath in the present moment and look toward an uncertain future, Dr Lilly Brown will talk to how FirstPeoples have already survived the end of the world. Drawing on the wisdom of storytellers, philosophers, Elders and young people, she shares a belief that Indigenous people hold the answers to many of the seemingly intractable questions of our time.Where the efficacy of reconciliation, both asa process and aspiration, has been brought into stark relief by the injustice of the failed referendum, Lilly will invite an imagining of other possible worlds through an engagement with First Peoples’ stories to recuperate, in the present, both the future and our collective humanity.
