About this Event
The Explainer Series is about exploring the questions we’re all asking.
For tens of thousands of years, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have looked to the sky - not just with wonder, but with deep, rigorous knowledge. The stars, the planets, the dark constellations formed by the shadows of the Milky Way - these were calendars, maps, law books and stories, all at once. This is the world's oldest astronomy, and it is only now beginning to receive the scientific recognition it has long deserved. In the lead-up to NAIDOC Week, join us for a conversation that will change the way you look up.
The Explainer Series
The Explainer Series is a space for thoughtful conversations with people who really know their stuff, sharing insights and context so we can better navigate the big and small questions in our lives.
From international law and cryptocurrency to climate change, gut health and space junk, these talks bring ideas, trends and debates into focus, helping us form our own understanding, guided by curiosity and expertise.
There’s no spin and no hype, just experts helping us think more clearly about the world around us.
The Explainer Series is generously supported by Gina Fairfax AC and Tim Fairfax AC through the Queensland Library Foundation.
