For thousands of years, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders have used the spoken word to pass knowledge from one generation to the next.
From creation legends to bush medicine - from tribal history to customs, language and song - wisdom has flowed from the lips of elders to the young.
200 years of colonisation has seen many of these voices silenced.
To mark NAIDOC Week 2024, Azure Beach Library is proud to announce
"Black, Yellow & Read"
a Human Library™ event.
This July, five members of the Gumbaynggirr people will become human "books" - and will once again use their voice to pass their knowledge on - across cultural, social and political divides.
Some books can talk.
We invite you to question, to listen, and to hear.
WHEN
9.30 am -1.00 pm
July 4, 2024
WHERE
Azure Beach Library Courtyard
