WRITING & LITERATURE USER IN PERSON ONLINE The Magical World of Multicultural Picture Books Multicultural books are important because they can provide windows into other cultures and introduce readers to new ideas. They can also help readers from under-represented groups see themselves reflected in literature. This talk will highlight a range of multicultural picture books that celebrate cultural diversity, focusing on the relationship between word and image and how the verbal and the visual elements work together to produce a dynamic story. BRANCH DATE TIME Nunawading Wed 10 Nov 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm Rooted: An Australian History of Bad Language with Associate Professor Amanda Laugesen Bad language has been used in all sort of ways in our history: to defy authority, as a form of liberation and subversion, and as a source of humour and creativity. It has also been used to oppress and punish, notably Indigenous Australians and women. Revealing the fundamental tensions, conflicts, preoccupations and anxieties that have shaped our past and continue to shape our present, the story of bad language is a story about what it means to be Australian. Associate Professor Amanda Laugesen is a historian and lexicographer. She is director of the Australian National Dictionary Centre, ANU, and chief editor of the Australian National Dictionary. Zoom invitation will be emailed to registered participants prior to session. BRANCH DATE TIME Zoom Tue 23 Nov 7.00 pm – 8.00 pm 24 Registration is essential for all events www.wml.vic.gov.au or in branch
WRITING & LITERATURE | WHAT’S ON ONLINE Alice Pung: One Hundred Days In a heady whirlwind of independence, lust and defiance, sixteen-year-old Karuna falls pregnant. Not on purpose, but not entirely by accident, either. Karuna’s over-protective mother reacts badly – and confines her to their fourteenth-storey housing-commission flat, to keep her safe from the outside world – and make sure she can’t get into any more trouble. One Hundred Days is a fractured fairytale that explores the fault lines between love and control. ALICE PUNG is an award-winning writer based in Melbourne. She is the bestselling author of the memoirs Unpolished Gem and Her Father’s Daughter, and the essay collection Close to Home, as well as the editor of the anthologies Growing Up Asian in Australia and My First Lesson. Join us to hear Alice discuss her writing career and this latest novel, One Hundred Days – a story brimming with claustrophobic tension, warmth and humour – in this online event. Zoom invitation will be emailed to registered participants prior to session.
