FreeHuman: Ziggy Ramo in Conversation
Written on the precipice of becoming a parent and fuelled by his imaginings of how life could look for his child, Wik and South Sea Islander artist Ziggy Ramo’s book Human? is part-memoir, part-manifesto, and an attempt to bridge a nation-wide knowledge gap — a heartfelt and impassioned cry out to Australia to acknowledge the truth of our history so we can move forward and heal together. Hosted by Miles Merrill.
This event is free; no bookings required.
