Join us for a special book launch with an expert panel to discuss the Indigenous right to update, correct or enhance their knowledge.
Be among the first to celebrate the critical release of The Indigenous Right of Reply to Archives. The editors and contributors will discuss the book's exploration of the Right of Reply and how this right is being put into practice across galleries, libraries, archives, and museums, with real case studies and practical steps.
