6:30pm, January 22, New International Bookshop (Victorian Trades Hall, 54 Victoria St, Carlton)

Australia has a long history of colonialism, racism, and genocide. It’s a history that is whitewashed and denied in favour of the narrative we’re presented with each year on ‘Australia Day’, or what should be more accurately titled Invasion Day.

Join Anarchist Affinity on Thursday 22nd at the New International Bookshop to hear from two speakers on the real history behind Invasion Day and what it means today.

The two speakers will be followed by a Q and A session.

Speakers:

Vivian Malo – Vivian Malo is a Gooniyandi woman and co-founder of First Nations Liberation, a resistance movement and Black Power revival.

Tony Birch – Indigenous academic, novelist and historian
