Resilient Truth: Tony Birch and Claire G. Coleman

  • Free
  • Talk

What does it mean to survive, to create, to resist and still to write?

Two of the boldest Blak voices, Tony Birch and Claire G. Coleman, come together for a night of storytelling, insight and truth. From futures dreamed to histories exposed, these writers don’t flinch. They speak of survival and resistance with voices that won't stay silent.

Together, they’ll dive into the truths they carry, the words they choose to share and the worlds they’re fighting to imagine and re-imagine.
