A celebration of songlines, story and legacy at Canberra Writers Festival

Celebrate the release of Rivers Flow: Reflections on the Songs of Archie Roach and Ruby Hunter at the Canberra Writers Festival.

At this special session under the Festival Marquee, collection editor Casey Mulder, contributing author Dakota Feirer and special guest Darren Rix, nephew of Archie Roach, will be in conversation with author Thomas Mayo.

The session will honour the profound music, culture and leadership legacy of Archie Roach – a Gunditjmara, Kirrae Whurrong / Djab Wurrung and Bundjalung man – and Ruby Hunter – a Ngarrindjeri, Kokatha and Pitjantjatjara woman. First Nations writers who have contributed to this wonderful work will pay tribute to these giants of songs and storytelling, and share personal reflections, words and poems.
