Original Sin: Has identity become our new religion?
ABC Radio Hobart and Dark Mofo are excited to present an exclusive preview event for Dark + Dangerous Thoughts 2019.
Hosted by Ryk Goddard, join us at the University of Tasmania's Dechaineux Lecture Theatre as we dive into this year's theme: issues of identity.
We will be joined by Dark + Dangerous Thoughts program director Laura Kroetsch, with DDT speakers Ginger Gorman and Shannon Burns for a one-hour discussion with a live audience, recorded for radio.
This is a free event, with limited release tickets, so reservations are essential.
