When: Thurs 7 October, 12:45-1:45pm.

Writers Speaking Out (Presented by Meanjin)

What happens when writers broach subjects that break taboos or upset cultural norms? When they court controversial issues in their works? Where does the storyteller stop and the advocate begin? Omar Musa, Antony Loewenstein, Christos Tsiolkas and Sian Prior discuss whether fiction, non-fiction, poetry and music can change the world with Sophie Cunningham.

When: Fri 8 October, 9-10am.

Where: Neka Museum
