How can we hold together big ambition for social change on issues like climate alongside the small work required to build powerful connections across our diversity and difference? This piece explores the tensions of scale between big and small, fast and slow through stories and reflections across a life of organising. Our host Amanda Tattersall reads a memoir that she wrote for the Griffith Review in their August edition entitled Hey Utopia.

Scaling Change - Amanda Tattersall on making change big and small

Listen to Alice Bellette read her essay from Griffith Review 76: Acts of Reckoning. In this piece, Alice delves into the narrative spaces claimed by new voices of Aboriginal gothic and their role in unsettling settler stories laid onto Australia’s landscapes.  

Examining questions of history, truth-telling and decolonisation, and revisiting colonial figures and their ongoing legacies, Acts of Reckoning reframes the past in order to form new futures – and celebrates how much work is already underway. For more from this edition, head to GriffithReview.com
