Join us for an unforgettable evening of conversation, storytelling and solidarity as acclaimed author Tony Birch and Palestinian author and educator Micaela Sahhar come together for a powerful discussion facilitated by literary critic and advocate Bec Kavanagh.

Held at the Chestnut Tree Bookshop, this event will explore the shared threads of resistance within Indigenous Australian and Palestinian communities — through history, lived experience, and the written word. Together, these voices will reflect on how literature can bear witness, build bridges, and become a tool for justice.

This is a night for readers, writers, and those who believe in the power of stories to spark change. All welcome.
