Acts of Reckoning

July 14, 2022 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

How does Australia’s relationship to its settler colonial past shape our shared future? And can we ever achieve true healing if we don’t confront history head on?

Griffith Review’s Acts of Reckoning issue examines some of the complexities at play in Australia’s long and fraught journey toward centering First Nations peoples, cultures and knowledges.

Join the Wheeler Centre for this special panel event as lawyer, sotryteller and Griffith Review contributing editor, Teela Reid, activist and Uluru Statement from the Heart architect, Megan Davis and historian Henry Reynolds (appearing via a video feed) reckon with questions of history, truth-telling and decolonisation.

With host Paul Barclay, they’ll discuss the need for homegrown truth-telling, consider what the recent political power shift in Canberra means for constitutional recognition for First Peoples, and imagine what might be possible for Australia’s narrative when we finally walk together toward a better future.
