The Mission Songs Project present a dynamic musical performance of Indigenous song, casting light on the history and resilience of our Indigenous communities. Throughout his award-winning literary career, Kim Scott has reconstructed narratives of Aboriginal experience while interrogating the archives of history. In his powerful opening address, Scott explores how writing yourself into history can challenge Australian identity and transform our connection to language and land.

Kick off the Festival with DJ Sovereign Trax who brings a playlist of the best music from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists as we reflect on the collective stories, identities and resistance of the First Nations.
