Talks & Workshops
Amongst the many overused words of 2020, a strong contender for one of the most pernicious was ‘unprecedented’. This was, we were told, a year like no other. You could never have predicted this. But isn’t that always true? And never true? Experts in every field study the patterns of the past to extrapolate their visions for the future: the road maps and prescriptions, cautions and hopes. So to kick off 2021 – the year after The Unprecedented Year – Sydney Writers' Festival are going to get into the prognostication game. Sydney Writers' are asking some of Australia's smartest, most thoughtful, most imaginative writers to turn their thoughts to what we might reasonably expect from the next 12 months. In their areas of expertise, RN’s Health Report and Coronacast host Norman Swan (via digital stream), acclaimed Indigenous author Gayle Kennedy, multi-Walkley-winning investigative journalist Kate McClymont and award-winning writer Maxine Beneba Clarke (via digital stream) and a panel of special guests will read the tea leaves, take some temperatures and share with us their account of things to come
