09.01.2022 NAIDOC Week: Always was, Always will be. Claire G. Coleman @clairegcoleman shares a must read short essay with us titled Never Forgotten, responding to this year’s NAIDOC theme Always was, Always will be. Read to full piece here: www.qvwc.org.au/communitynaidoc... Claire is a Noongar woman whose family have belonged to the south coast of Western Australia since long before history started being recorded. She writes fiction, essays and poetry while (mostly) traveling around the continent now called Australia in a ragged caravan towed by an ancient troopy (the car has earned "vintage" status). Born in Perth, away from her ancestral country she has lived most of her life in Victoria and most of that in and around Melbourne. During an extended circuit of the continent she wrote a novel, influenced by certain experiences gained on the road. She has since won a Black&Write! Indigenous Writing Fellowship for that novel ,"Terra Nullius". Terra Nullius was published in Australia by Hachette Australia and in North America by Small Beer Press. #NAIDOC2020 #qvwc #alwayswasalwayswillbe #NAIDOCWEEK #NAIDOC #firstnations #aboriginal #aboriginalart #indigenousart #naram #boonwurrung #noongar #indigenouswomen #aboriginalwomen #culture #community #art #artitsts #terranullius

06.01.2022 I recently had the absolute pleasure of contributing to Melbourne Poetry Map's latest journey 'Taking Space', as part of Feminist Writers Festival. My piece of ...poetry contemplated a building that previously housed a synagogue and also a women's shelter named Hope Hall (you may have known it once as Trunk Diner). The remainder of the journey is performed by a host of incredible feminist voices - Sista Zai Zanda, Kochava Lilit, Quinn Eades and Darlene Silva Soberano. Have a listen here: http://melbpoetrymap.com/journeys/taking-space/ Huge thanks to Peril magazine and Queen Victoria Women's Centre for having me!
