How do stories express connection to place and identity? In this thoughtful conversation, Byrne and Morrissey explore belonging and responsibility in Australian fiction. The session focuses on story as a way of holding history, Country and moral obligation across generations.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY
The Manly Writers' Festival acknowledges and thanks the original storytellers on the lands on which our events take place, the Gameraygal people of the Eora Nation. We acknowledge and respect their continuing connection and culture, and we pay our respects to ancestors and Elders, past and present, as well as emerging leaders.
