    "Black Duck" LIVE with Bruce Pascoe and Lyn Harwood

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit thestorymakersinstitute.substack.com This is your front row pass to the world’s most intriguing storytellers, as powered by you. This week, say hello to Bruce Pascoe and Lyn Harwood, who recently joined me live-on-stage at Wurdi Youang, Geelong Library and Heritage Centre (The Dome) which you can now find on Substack. Bruce Pascoe is the best selling author of ‘Dark Emu’ - which ignited a conversation about the 'hunter-gatherer' tag given to pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians, as it rebutted colonial myths that justified dispossession of land. When Dark Emu was adopted by Australia like a new anthem, Bruce found himself at the centre of a national debate that often focussed on the wrong part of the story. In their new book Black Duck: A Year At Yumburra, Bruce Pascoe and Lyn Williams describe what happened next… In this SOLD OUT and LIVE conversation, Bruce and Lyn sit down with me to talk about the consequences and responsibility of disrupting Australia’s history with a new (ancient) story. Presented in partnership with The Book Bird. Loved this convo? Spread the word by sharing this edition of The Storymakers Institute with those who love stories as much as you do.

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit thestorymakersinstitute.substack.com This is your front row pass to the world’s most intriguing storytellers, as powered by you. This week on The Storymakers Institute, say hello to award-winning Turkish journalist, novelist, author, political thinker, and public speaker, Ece Temelkuran who left Turkey in 2016 “exhausted from fear and paralysed with anger” when Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s “purge of the opposition began”. In her 2019 book "How to Lose a Country” Ece documented the seven steps she observed about the transition from democracy to dictatorship both at home and abroad. As she works on her new book “Nation of Strangers” , I sit down with Ece to ask: has the future been as bad as she expected it to be? Does the pursuit of a culturally cosmopolitan, globally informed, worldly life unhinge us? And what is home for storymakers like Ece, when home becomes a dictatorship? Want to hear the full episode?
