2016 DYMPHNA CLARK LECTURE  by Drusilla Modjeska, 28 April, 6pm at MCH

In ‘Telling Stories’, Drusilla Modjeska will reflect on stories- colonial and post colonial, oral and written- that she has encountered during more than a decade of visiting Cape Nelson on the north east coast of PNG. From an early colonial photo e stories children tell today, she’ll discuss conflicting histories and memories, resonances and priorities.

Drusilla first travelled to PNG in 1968 and has frequently been there since 2004. Her books include Poppy, The Orchard and Stravinsky’s Lunch, and the Mountain.

Refreshments afterwards. Cost $15/10
