“To be Indian growing up in Australia is to tread the narrow line between here and there, to constantly code-switch and navigate between filling the needs and aspirations of your family, your community – and yourself.”   

Growing Up Indian in Australia brings together a diverse diaspora of storytellers whose experiences straddle the boundaries of Indian and Australian identities and who write of building something new in the middle.

In this panel discussion, contributors to the anthology, including established and emerging writers, share their stories of shapeshifting between cultures and expectations.

Featuring contributors Kavita Bedford, Aarti Betigeri, Nicholas Brown, Hardeep Dhanoa and host Jeremy Fernandez.
