AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This series of monologues is the first collaboration between emerging writer Michelle White and Deadly Award winning co-writer/performer Karla Hart, drawing from the pair’s own real life experiences. A raw, emotional and at times irreverent look at race, identity and what it’s like to actually want to be proud of identifying as Aboriginal.' Source: www.yirrayaakin.com.au/ (Sighted 03/07/2012).
