The Black and Bright Festival is a literary festival dedicated to the diverse expressions of First Nations storytelling. Established in 2016 this four-day festival is based in Naarm (Melbourne) and covers all genres from oral stories, novels, to plays and poetry.  With over 60 first nations artists set to appear at the upcoming festival between 14 and 17 March 2024, it is sure to be a fabulous celebration of black stories.  And in honour of this premier cultural event, I spoke with Julie Janson. Julie is a Darug woman of the Burruberongal Clan.   A playwright, poet and novelist, Julie's 2022 novel, 'Madukka the River Serpent', an Indigenous crime novel, was long listed for the Miles Franklin Award.  Julie was also a recipient of the Oodgeroo Noonuccal Poetry Prize 2016 and the Judith Wright Poetry Prize 2019.  Julie's historical novel 'Benevolence' was published by Magabala Books in 2020  and published in the US and UK in 2022.  'Compassion' is the follow-up novel to 'Benevolence' and has just been released by Magabala.  I was thrilled to have the chance to speak with Julie about her work on the podcast recently. 

Bruce Pascoe in an Aboriginal Australian man, award-winning writer, and farmer. Last month I was fortunate to host Bruce in conversation at the brilliant Quantum Words Festival here in Perth. This was Schools Day, so there were about 150 people, mostly students, in the theatre. The session's touchstone was Bruce's extraordinary book Young Dark Emu. In keeping with its themes, we travelled deep and wide here, and in pin-drop attentive silence. The event billing read: In Young Dark Emu - A Truer History, Bruce Pascoe uses the accounts of early European explorers, colonists and farmers, to argue for an understanding of Australia prior to the arrival of Europeans as a land of cultivated farming areas, productive fisheries, permanent homes, and thriving villages. Bruce discusses his work with Anthony James. This conversation was recorded live at the Quantum Words Festival in Walyalup / Fremantle on 16 September 2022.

Playwright Melody Dia weaves a confronting and visceral story as problems escalate, hit a turning point and explode – with secrets coming out. FIFO – Fit In or F**k Off! is filled with wry humour, turbulent emotions and unflinching truths. This powerhouse of a play will leave the reader on the edge of their seat asking, ‘is it worth it?' https://www.magabala.com/products/fifo

Carl Merrison and Hakea Hustler are the authors of the critically acclaimed novel Black Cockatoo. Carl is a Jaru and Kija man from Halls Creek. He works with young Indigenous boys focusing on improving engagement with education. Carl was nominated for Australian of the Year in 2016. Hakea is an English teacher who has taught around Australia including in remote Aboriginal communities.Deklan Archer, Dek to his friends, arrives at school to news that has shocked the community. Old Mr Henry, infamous for selling sly grog to locals, has been found drowned.To make matters worse, the bus returning the Year Twelve camp is running late. This has got Dek stressed because he and his mates were mucking around near the bus.The cops are talking to everyone and Dek is one of the first students called up. Could Mr Henry's death be murder, and if so what does that mean for the busload of missing students?From the start Tracks of the Missing draws the reader into its adventure. From Dek's perspective this a calamity; he's got family and friends on the bus and he knows the cops don't understand the country well enough to search properly.Dek wants to investigate and he and his mates are ready to ditch school and join their family. It's not that simple though. Dek has a big footy trial coming up. It's not often the big city scouts come to their remote community. If Dek misses the chance to show his skills then he might miss the only chance he has to get out of town and see the world.Dek's hand is forced when his Grandfather, a renowned tracker, enlists him to the search. Hitting the road with a reluctant police officer they head into the bush away from the main search party. Grandfather has a feeling and Dek backs him up, but there is something worrying them both this time.Carl and Hakea's style in Tracks of the Missing is sharp and pacy. When we spoke for Final Draft they described wanting to engage young readers in a way that is exciting but isn't off putting to those who feel less confident in their reading skills.Carl also talked about wanting to engage young men, particularly in the communities where he's worked with stories that relate to their personal experience.Tracks of the Missing is a thrilling mystery but at its heart Dek vacillates between the pull to solve it, to save his family and friends and to leave it all behind to follow his footy dreams. Carl talked to me about this pull and the need to walk in two worlds.The novel also highlights the relationship between Dek and his Grandfather. As they track the missing bus, Dek reflects on the skills his grandfather has taught him and how they will be lost when Grandfather dies. Dek is like so many young Indigenous people building connections with culture and worrying that the generation that carries that culture is getting older.Tracks of the Missing also does fascinating things with white conceptions of genre. If you think you know YA, or adventure, or even fantasy, Tracks will shake down your preconceptions and introduce new ways to think about these storytelling tropes.I found Tracks of the Missing a real wild ride with a strong heart. It taught me something about the legacy of colonization and dispossession and challenged my notions of the endurance of culture.Tracks of the Missing is out now from Magabala Books, and just a quick shout out to Magabala. They are an independent Indigenous publishing house that have been around since the eighties. They produce an incredible range of titles from first nations writers, most particularly books for younger readers. If you're concerned with supporting a change in the kids of stories that are told in this country and offering Indigneous perspectives to young readers they are a must and always my go to when buying books for family and young friends.Final Draft is produced and presented by Andrew PopleWant more great conversations with Australian authors?Discover this and many more conversations on Final Draft every week from 2ser.Get in touch with Andrew and Final Draft.

Whist I've been engaged in many private conversations this week, I've had hesitations about sharing publicly...Firstly, I am not Aboriginal and, secondly, I'm certainly not an expert. Like, at all... by any stretch of the imagination. Oh and thirdly, I've got stuff I'm absolutely still learning and unlearning. I absolutely have bias - conscious and unconscious. But without awareness nothing can, or will, EVER change. I'm not here for that.It's become heartbreakingly obvious to me that many were not given the same education or experiences as I have. And so many of you honestly don't know where to start.I don't believe it should be solely the responsibility of our Indigenous brothers and sisters to educate us. 230 years of trying to tell us can only be exhausting and frustrating. It's time for us to step up.So here are some super practical places you can start.Learn our history. It's brutal and ugly and totally fucked up. Don't look away. Take it onboard.In the early 90s I had an incredible rogue teacher who taught us the truth of Australia's history. I'm so grateful to this incredible woman. Here is one of the videos she shared with us back in the early 90s (be prepared to cry - it's heartbreaking):https://www.youtube.com/watch…Edit: a few people shared the film ‘In My Blood It Runs’. I’ll be watching it this weekend. Here’s how you can too: https://https://inmyblooditruns.com/screenings/Learn about the land you live on. Know what country you are on and know more about the people who inhabited it for 60000 years before we arrived.Here's a map so you can find out which Indigenous nation you reside: http://nationalunitygovernment.org/…/aboriginal-australia-m…But that's only the beginning of the genocide. Check out this map to learn more about what happened on your own country: https://c21ch.newcastle.edu.au/colonialmassacres/map.phpGo study Australian history. Our education system has, and continues, to let us down in this area. And I would like to see MASSIVE change when it comes to what is taught in school. A common comment from the friends I've been speaking with this week is that they know more about other countries and cultures than they do our own. And that could all change in one generation, if we learned this stuff early on.But it's easy to blame the system. It means we, as individuals, get to pass the buck. That's not good enough.Education starts at home.There are often plenty of resources available via your local library. You can often find local language resources and books about local culture and history. One simple trick is to type which Country you live on into the search box at your library. See what comes up.Edited to add: Here’s a couple of websites that are not indigenous run but are created in consultation:https://www.creativespirits.infohttps://australianstogether.org.auHave conversations with your children about what they know... share what you are learning with them. They are NEVER too young. I've been having these conversations with my little one since before she was old enough to understand.There are some seriously amazing kids books out there. I remember loving the dreamtime books as a kid - Rainbow Serpent was a fav of mine and now my daughter. These should all be at your local library and school. Plus, check out Magabala Books for some great reads (adults and kids, fiction and non-fiction - it's all there): https://www.magabala.com/Listen to Indigenous stories and voices. Here's a few podcasts that I LOVE....Obviously, Indigenous Health MedTalks (because I produce it).Tiddas 4 TiddasAlways was, always will be our stories (Marlee Silva's new podcast - she was the host of Tiddas 4 Tiddas)Black Magic WomanA few days ago I shared a document that contained details of places you can donate and campaigns you can lend your voice to. Go check that out.Ask your kids school what Australian history the kids are learning. Ask the school what cultural education programs they are running. Are they doing acknowledgement of Country? Is there any Indigenous language being learned?Get involved. Naidoc is coming up in July. Plenty of opportunities to connect and celebrate.We have the oldest living cultures in the history of the planet on our doorstep, but we've been too in our own shit to listen and learn.Hope this helps!If you have other resources, feel free to add them to the thread. This is obviously just one post and a bit of a starting point.Let's do the work. xxConnect with Karly in her free private facebook group, Show Up Speak Up, on instagram, or at karlynimmo.com
