Though Melissa Lucashenko and Tanya Talaga work across different genres, both explore the complexities of myth, history, and resilience from fascinating, unique perspectives. A Goorie author of Bundjalung and European heritage, Lucashenko is known in Australia for novels that quake with life and truth, while Anishinaabe-Canadian journalist Talaga examines the buried history of her country, and the fight to bring truths to light. Hear their vital conversation about unhealed wounds of the past and reclaiming narratives for a collective future. Chaired by Katucha Bento.
