Flames of Opportunity Event - The Hugh Williamson Lecture
On Thursday, 29 October 2020, join us online for the annual Hugh Williamson Lecture, presented by Science Gallery Melbourne in collaboration with Indigenous Knowledge Institute
About This Event
In a year book-ended by catastrophic bushfires both in Australia and the Americas, it’s clear that existing approaches to caring for Country need to change.
Associate Professor Michael-Shawn Fletcher and award-winning STEM journalist, NITV’s Rae Johnston will share a yarn about First Peoples cultural burning traditions as scientific practice and the role of Indigenous futurism.
Join their discussion as they imagine a future where Indigenous knowledge has radically changed the threat of climate change.
More guests as part of series of conversations on First Peoples’ fire practice in collaboration with Science Gallery Detroit to be announced soon.
