As an accompaniment to the Constitutional Poetics symposium, we will be screening Our Warrior, a new documentary on the life and work of Robbie Thorpe, a Krauatungalung (Gurnai)/Djapwurrung (Gundditjmara) man, and one of the most renowned Aboriginal activists in the ongoing struggle against the iniquities of the invader Australian state.
The screening will take place on Thursday 19 June (12pm -2pm) at the Forum Theatre, Level 1, Arts West Building. It will be followed by a panel discussion hosted by Professor Tony Birch, and featuring Gary Foley, the film’s director Anthony Kelly, Robbie Thorpe, and Professor Irene Watson. Please register here.
The Constitutional Poetics symposium is supported by the Australian Research Council grant ‘Law, Literature and Naturalization in an Age of Empire,’ The Institute for International Law and the Humanities (IILAH), and the Critical Research Association Melbourne (CRAM) at The University of Melbourne.
