Sticksnstones on the Birrarung Marr

Overview

Celebrate the legacy of Australia's first people at Sticksnstones on the Birrarung Marr. Held at Deakin Edge in Federation Square, this special event will bring together prominent artists and advocates for a night of conversation and performance. The goal: to examine First Nations' cultural systems and consider how they can still have an impact on the world today.

The main event will feature a panel discussion with a number of notable faces, including representatives from the Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation and Indigenous Architecture and Design Victoria, as well as performance artist and Australian Youth Climate Coalition Member Monica McDonald, and Dark Emu, Black Seeds author Bruce Pascoe.

The panel will be followed by a performance by the Melbourne Playback Theatre Company. There will also be a number of giveaways on the night, including more than $200 worth of literature from Magabala Books, Australia's oldest independent Indigenous publishing house.
