THE DI GRIBBLE ARGUMENT 2021
* Tickets are no longer available to this event *
The Di Gribble Argument 2021 consists of a full day of events featuring a broad range of First Nations speakers discussing and reflecting on issues of climate change, environment and connection to country. Through panels, performance and music, the events will encourage multi-generational public dialogue that empowers individuals to engage with environmental action, while asserting the importance of prioritising First Nations expertise and wisdom on caring for nature.
These events will build on three especially commissioned creative responses by First Nations writers of different generations – Bruce Pascoe (author of Loving Country, Dark Emu, Young Dark Emu), Victor Steffensen (author of Fire Country: How Indigenous Fire Management Could Help Save Australia), and Teila Watson (aka Ancestress) – to be published on wheelercentre.com throughout March.
Teila Watson on What’s Not in the Past
What are the connections and causes of genocide and ecocide in so called 'australia'? This is one of the pressing questions raised in Teila Watson’s essay The Intrinsic Connections between Ecocide and Genocide. Join us for a discussion on the importance of truth telling, ecological and social governance, and disabling white supremacy within climate change discussions.
