Description

Under the thoughtful guidance of editor Yasmin Smith, UQP has unveiled its third collection of First Nations classics, repositioning First Nations stories at the heart of Australian literature. 

Together with author Tara June Winch, Yasmin reflects on the seminal works that make up the collection, including Tara's own Swallow the Air.

Then Larrakia artist Jenna Mayilema Lee transforms immigration documents — once tools of control — into profound spaces for healing and cultural connection for the National Art School's exhibition Neighbour at the Gate.

Plus Kurrama Elder Joan Ashburton shares her final word for Word Up.
