Yarning with First Nations about 'In My Blood It Runs': An evening with Uncle Shane Charles

Friday, August 27, 2021 - 19:30 to 21:30

 

Due to ongoing COVID-related restrictions in Victoria, instead of meeting together to watch this film, we are offering an evening to discuss its themes with a leading First Nations voice on cultural integrity.

Buy Tickets

Uncle Shane Charles is a proud Yorta Yorta, Wurundjeri and BoonWurrung man, and the Co-Chair of Reconciliation Victoria. He is La Trobe University’s curriculum advisor and sits on numerous organization boards, including the City of Melbourne’s. Uncle Shane is currently advising Initiatives of Change Australia in the co-design of new trustbuilding initiatives between First Nations and non-indigenous Australians. 

On 27 August, Uncle Shane will be on Zoom to yarn with us about the present realities for First Nations youth, represented in the film, In My Blood It Runs. Leela Gray, a university student and community activist from Melbourne’s western suburbs, will contribute a youth perspective.

We invite you into our work of addressing systemic racism, by sharing the lived experiences of First Nations peoples.

Join us to take part in this yarning!

We encourage you to watch this film ahead of time on a streaming platform of your choice. You can catch on Netflix (free if you have a subscription), as well as on Google Play ($4) or Apple TV ($7).

Everyone with a ticket will be sent a Zoom link ahead of this event.

Note: Refunds are possible if you won’t be able to join us online. Your ticket price supports the co-design of our trustbuilding initiatives with Australia’s First Nations. If you previously bought a ticket for the film screening, it is still valid for the Zoom event.
