Blak, Loud and Proud: First Nations Classics 2024 [Tamala Shelton]
Manage episode 432063228 series 1415365
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander writers have been sharing stories on this continent for millennia. From best-selling and award-winning poetry, memoir and fiction to powerful works that defy categorisation, Blak writing depicts, challenges and honours culture, community and Country. Much-loved books by First Nations writers stand strong on shelves in homes, libraries, bookshops and classrooms – but there are always more books and writers to be discovered and rediscovered.
In 2023, University of Queensland Press (UQP) introduced its First Nations Classics series to amplify Blak voices in the literary canon. This NAIDOC Week, we celebrated the second instalment of First Nations Classics with some of the remarkable authors and contributors involved in the series.
Hear a special performance by proud Bundjalung and Lama Lama artist Tamala Shelton honouring the 2024 NAIDOC Week theme, ‘Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud’ and the enduring strength and vitality of First Nations cultures.
The event was recorded on Thursday 11 July 2024.
It was presented in partnership with Blak & Bright. The official bookseller was Amplify Bookstore.
Featured music is DRMNGNOW ‘Get Back To The Land’ edit (recorded live at The Wheeler Centre)
