Melanie Saward: Little Stories

Storytelling

25 November 2023

Hear author Melanie Saward (Bigambul, Wakka Wakka) present a new story written in response to Daniel Boyd’s exhibition Rainbow Serpent (Version).

Saward’s debut novel, Burn, was published to critical acclaim in 2023, and her second novel, Love Unleashed, will be published by Penguin Random House in 2024. Her writing has been published in Griffith Review, Meanjin, and Flock: First Nations Stories Then and Now alongside leading Aboriginal writers, and shortlisted for numerous awards.

The Institute of Modern Art acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land upon which the IMA now stands, the Jagera, Yuggera, Yugarapul, and Turrbal people. We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
