Photoblog: Hidden Stories

 

By Stephanie Eslake and Ruth Dawkins

 

You may have noticed our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages in full swing last night! We wanted to share our Hidden Stories with you in light of Indigenous Literacy Day.

The event packed out the Moonah Arts Centre with Tasmania’s Indigenous leaders and an engaged and inspired audience. We were all there to support, respect, and learn with some incredible guests giving talks under the theme “Broadening the conversation”.

So before we continue the celebrations at the venue this Sunday from 1-5pm, why not sit down with a cup of tea and relive the fabulous night that was? You may even spot yourself in this photoblog!

A special thanks to our presenters Clair Andersen, Madelena, Theresa Sainty, Greg Lehman, Jim Everett, Troy Melville, Dr Margaret Bromley, and Maggie Walter for giving us a meaningful and inspiring evening.

The following pictures are by Ruth Dawkins. Did you spot her with her camera?
