47 We Must Be Heard

Today on Archive Fever the tables are turned, and interviewer turns interviewee. Co-host Clare Wright jumps in the hot seat to tell Yves and producer Matt Smith about the research journey behind her latest book Näku Dhäruk: The Bark Petitions (Text, 2024)—the final work in her Democracy Trilogy, an award-winning series that uses the material heritage of Australian democracy to retell how the people acquired a voice. How to incorporate Yolngu ways of being and knowing into a linear historical narrative? What does it mean to practice truth telling a year on from the unsuccessful Voice referendum? Where did Clare uncover a long-lost fourth copy of the bark petition? And what does Joan Didion have to do with any of this?
