Just as Covid-19 has laid bare the racial, gender, and economic inequalities upon which our societies are built, the accelerating climate catastrophe has made the violence of capitalism and colonialism inescapable.
Yet as social and political structures around the world buckle and break, writers are finding new ways of representing and interrogating the world we inhabit. In doing this many are asking new and important questions about the nature and purpose of writing in a world in the midst of transformative change.
What is the role of the writer in such a moment? How does writing in a time of emergency alter the practice of writing? What might a literature capable of speaking about the violence of the past and its pervasive and continuing legacies look like? And perhaps most importantly, what is the role of writing in helping us imagine and reimagine the future?
Join Tony Birch, Evelyn Araluen, and James Bradley as they discuss their own work and the broader challenges of writing into and out of crisis.
