HEARTLAND

JUNE 2024

The great didgeridoo virtuoso William Barton and powerhouse violinist Véronique Serret blend songlines and storytelling in this compelling collaborative work. Inspired by the poetry of William’s mother, Aunty Delmae Barton, the message of Heartland is of peace and love carried by an eagle spirit. 

From its roots as a seven-minute commission for the 2019 Canberra International Music Festival, this extraordinary work has grown into an hour-long reimagined “chamber oratorio” exploration of Country, landscape, culture, language and identity.

MEMORIES AND ELEPHANTS

FEBRUARY 2024

Memories and Elephants: The art of casual racism is a thought-provoking collection of memoir-based essays that delves into the sociopolitical landscape of Australian society. Written by Meaghan Katrak Harris, these essays offer a unique exploration of the intersectionality of Australian culture, classism, racism, and identity.

Memories and Elephants invites readers to challenge the dominant narrative of Australian identity. It encourages us to think critically about the complexities of our multicultural society and the impact of casual racism.
