Hannah Donnelly presents: 'Indigenous Futures: Challenging Colonialisms'. Indigenous Futurisms are different to other speculative practices and we have distinct devices that draw from work that Indigenous futurists have been creating for a long time. Indigenous futurisms become interventions into the ways we are studied, written about and interviewed.

HANNAH DONNELLY is a writer renowned for her ‘cli-fi’, she works with Indigenous Futurisms and responses to climate trauma. Hannah is the creator of Sovereign Trax promoting First Nations music through energising decolonisation conversations and community in music. Her recent group exhibitions include The Future Leaks Out, Liveworks, Sydney 2017; Future Eaters, Monash University Museum of Art, Melbourne 2017; Feedback Loop, Blak Dot Gallery, Melbourne 2017; and State of the Nation, Counihan Gallery, Melbourne, 2016.
