Summary

Yves and Clare are joined by Dr Natalie Harkin, a Narungga woman, writer, poet, and author of Archival-Poetics (Vagabond Press, 2019). How do we weave our histories, our stories? Natalie talks about piecing together her family narrative through state Aboriginal records and archives in order to make sense of a fractured history and create a new space in Archival Poetics. The group considers the paradox of Natalie’s archive fever, rebuilding the archival container, the dual voices of oppression and resilience, entering the archive with rupturing intent, and weaving your way back out.
