Nyungar writer Claire G. Coleman joins Daniel James on The Mission to explore what happens when stories are preserved, though not truly remembered.

Coleman reflects on who gets to tell the past, considering the persistence of the “history wars”, and the ongoing struggle to have First Nations histories recognised and understood.

Discussing how speculative storytelling may approach historical truths from another angle, Claire explains why “all good fiction has one foot in the truth.”

Claire G. Coleman joins Jane Field and Tony Birch for Living Archive at the Blak & Bright Writers Festival on Sunday 6 September, from 2 to 3pm.
