Led by Anna Emina, join this book club session as we read The Mother Wound, a powerful memoir by Lebanese-Australian artist and advocate, Amani Haydar.
In this book, Haydar writes about the loss of her mother, who was killed by her father in an act of domestic violence, and reflects on how this experience shaped her understanding of family, memory and resilience.
The book also explores the stories passed between generations of women, and how these influence the way people navigate grief, identity and justice. All are welcome, whether it’s your first book club or you’re a seasoned reader, to join us in this conversation.
Anna Emina is an educator, curator and writer based in Naarm. Her practice centres around collaboration and seeks to create accessible opportunities for people of colour to connect with contemporary art in Australia.
