Mary Beard with Bri Lee – 10.30 to 11.30
Join the world-famous classics scholar and feminist icon Mary Beard for this captivating conversation on her first-ever visit to Australia. Author of countless books, star of dozens of television shows, Beard gets to the nitty gritty of misogyny and power from the ancient world to today.
Yellow Face – 1.00 to 2.00
On the heels of her satirical sensation Yellowface crushing the bestseller lists, join Rebecca F. Kuang as she takes on the complexities of diversity, racism and cultural appropriation today – both through her own eyes and those of her latest protagonist Juniper Hayward.
Wifedom with Anna Funder – 2.15 to 3.15
Few writers captured the mechanics of tyrannical power better than George Orwell. That is, until Anna Funder came along. Hear how she exposed the great literary hero’s own ‘Orwellian’ erasure of his wife Eileen O’Shaughnessy, and how the tyranny of ‘wifedom’ persists today.
Our bodies – 3.30 to 4.30
It’s a source of both strength and vulnerability, of pleasure and pain, of empowerment and trauma; and a contested site of political control. Join these trailblazing thinkers for this agenda-setting conversation about the body. Who controls it, who judges it, and what it tells us about ourselves. With madison griffiths, tanya hosch, tara rae moss and grace tame, moderated by jamila rivzi
