31 Oct 2026 @ 2pm - 3:30pmFree event
The panel discussion will feature artist talks and retellings of episodes from epics such as the Ramayana and Mahabharata. The artists will talk about how their own practice is influenced by mythology and storytelling and how our inherited cultural stories can evolve and change through artistic expression.
Participants will explore what happens when familiar stories are approached through marginalised viewpoints, including queer and feminist, Indigenous and anti-caste, and diasporic perspectives.
This is a free event, but please book a ticket to reserve your space.
