Join us for this FREE event to celebrate the launch of Truth Telling Together, a national movement that seeks to inspire all Australians to educate themselves and others about Indigenous Australian history, culture and law.
Inspired by the life work of Rev Dr Djiniyini Gondarra as a prolific truth seeker, Truth Telling Together affirms that we can only move forward as a nation if we recognise and act upon the importance of truth telling as recommended in the Uluru Statement.
Dr Gondarra believes that by sittng together and sharing each other’s perspectives and worldviews, we can dispel the misconceptions that have plagued Indigenous Australians for so long.
‘Once there is a foundation (djalkirri) of mutual respect, then we can move forward to meaningful political changes that are not tokenistic and superficial but truly empowering and restorative of justice.’
The event will feature the screening of award winning film that looks at the life and legacy of Dr Gondarra, Ḻuku Ngärra: The Law of the Land, this will be followed by a line-up of Indigenous and non-Indigenous guests expressing their truth through music, poetry and storytelling.
This film screened to 2 sold out evenings at Byron Theatre back in March 2023, so it is strongly advised that you reserve your Eticket online to avoid disappointment.
Please note: the film is PG rating and not suitable for small children.
General Admission, first in best seated. Strictly 10 tickets per booking.
