Don Watson and Clare Wright In Conversation

Curated by Northern Books, For the Record is a conversation about documentation, truth and the written word. Bringing together three much loved historians, the event explores the importance of recording significant events — of setting the story straight before it’s rewritten or forgotten. Through readings, discussion and reflection, this event considers how books and archives shape our understanding of justice, history and belonging. Anchored in the act of storytelling itself, For the Record is both a literary event and a call to care for research and the narratives that define us.
