Stella Prize-winning historian Professor Clare Wright has long been a source of inspiring stories about our past with her award-winning accounts of the Eureka Stockade and the early Australian feminist movement as well as her television documentaries, radio programs, feature films and podcasts. Delivering this year’s keynote address, she tells the story behind the ṉäku dhäruk (bark petitions) created by the Yolngu people in Arnhem Land to stake their claim to their country, thereby sparking the beginning of the land rights movement that ultimately acknowledged legal native title. Following the address, Clare is in conversation with Jaymee Beveridge.
