Invites you to attend our 4th Annual Conference
. . .
.
.Our theme this year is:
“So Many Mattresses: Truth, Reality, Fiction On A European Bed”
Would we recognise an Australian fairy tale if it came to our doorstep, lacking robes of “once upon a time”, looking a little bedraggled? How do we sort truths from transplants?
Many “mattresses” have unrolled in Australia – historical, cultural, interpretative, creative – and more await stimulation by that provocative pea (or gumnut), inducing dreams and imaginings.
Awaken to the kiss of curiosity! What lies beneath? How might you respond, or create your own?
Learn! Create! Meet! Explore! Discuss! Enjoy!
Join us as we venture into layers of possibility…
