Keep the fire burning with Uncle Glenn Loughrey - NAIDOC Week 2024

Following the referendum Aboriginal People are processing the result and reassessing 'where to now?' The task of 'keeping the fire burning' feels more personal and less hopeful than before. For some it seems a daunting task, for others a necessity and still others have taken considerable time away to process the trauma of the event which has been piled onto the trauma they already carried.

Uncle Glenn, is a Wiradjuri man; Vicar at St Oswald’s Church in Glen Iris; Current Chair of National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Council (NATSIAC); Honorary Professor at the Australian National University, Crawford School of Public Policy; and has held many advisory positions and undertaken many different community initiatives, as well as being a practising artist. He will explore this fraught territory with humour and pathos and just a hint of hope.
