ICS Director performs at Sydney Writers' Festival

ICS Director Professor Ien Ang took part in a theatrical storytelling performance at Sydney Writers' Festival titled Stories Then & Now.

Stories Then & Now brought together six Asian Australians, each sharing personal stories from their past to unravel the threads that lead to their present day lives.

The event was presented by Carriageworks and Performance4a and ran through 22-25 May.

Although a regular at giving keynote speeches at conferences worldwide, Stories Then & Now was Ien's theatrical debut.

The Institute for Culture and Society is located in Parramatta, “the place where the eel sets down” in Dharug language,
along the north bank of the Parramatta River. It sits on the traditional lands and waters of the Burramattagal people of the Dharug Nation,
who have been stewards and caretakers of these territories since time immemorial, in what today is referred to as Greater Western Sydney,
one of the most diverse cultural communities in the world and home to the largest number of Indigenous Australians in the country.
The Institute for Culture and Society acknowledges the Dharug, Eora, Dharawal (also referred to as Tharawal)
and Wiradjuri peoples as traditional custodians and Indigenous knowledge-holders, whose storytelling serve
as historical record, a form of teaching and learning, a way to care for Country,
and an expression of Indigenous culture and identity.
