Due to demand, we have moved this talk to a larger venue and released more tickets. Don't miss out, register now.
Join Professor Tony Dreise for the next talk in our Works That Shaped The World series.
Long before Apollo 11, long before Galileo or Aristotle, long before the artists, poets and writers we typically know looked up at the stars and tried to explain and interpret the shimmering heavens above, the First Nations people of Australia enjoyed a distinctive relationship with the moon and the cosmos.
In this talk we explore that relationship, weaving together traditional Aboriginal traditions and contemporary approaches, melding culture and science, to tell a vivid story.
Talk: 6:15-7:15pm
Drinks and food: 7:15-8pm
