Following high demand, we are delighted to offer a special Western Sydney presentation of Silenced.

Discipline by Randa Abdel-Fattah. Women Who Win by Antoinette Lattouf. Bugger by Michael Mohammed Ahmad. Three outspoken new books which each explore themes of censorship, silencing and resilience in the face of turmoil, heartbreak and hardship.

In this rare and captivating dialogue, three of Australia’s most celebrated authors from the Palestinian and Lebanese diaspora expose the challenges they’ve each faced in speaking truth to power and unpack the gut-wrenching truths at the core of their latest works.

Facilitated by one of Australia’s most dynamic and forthright journalists working today, Jan Fran, this event promises to be a cornerstone moment in the history of Arab Australian literary expression.

Join Randa, Mohammed and Antoinette in conversation with Jan Fran.
