Sydney Writers' Festival acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this nation. They are the first storytellers of our land and we honour their tradition of passing down stories. 

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which our events take place. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.
