Horror is hardly a genre that needs much introduction – graveyards, monsters, things that go bump in the night. But what is at the heart of horror and stories of the uncanny for Indigenous Peoples, when colonisation is as horrific as humanity gets? What does a history unburied look like in the light?
This panel will discuss Indigenous perspectives on heroes, ghosts, and hauntings, and how this genre is being subverted in the face of real, ongoing horrors.
With Alicia Elliott, Jasmin McGaughey and host Jessica Johns. Curated by Evelyn Araluen and Jessica Johns.
In partnership with Toronto International Festival of Authors and Blak & Bright
Supported by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Consulate General of Canada, Sydney
