AWW22 Living Gender: Reimagining Masculinities and Femininities - Yves Rees, Omar Sakr and Brandon Jack

Twilight Talks | Authorial Voice


Hosted by Benjamin Law.


Join Australia’s favourite raconteur Ben Law for our rescheduled
Twilight Talks, now on the Plane Tree Stage at 5pm. Living Gender
brings together a dynamic panel to examine gender in contemporary
Australia, featuring Yves Rees, whose memoir All About Yves:
Notes from a Transition is a beautiful account of re-becoming and
trans identity, Omar Sakr, a lauded Queer poet and novelist,
whose thrilling writing examines notions of belonging when one’s
identity is at odds with one’s family and faith, and Brandon
Jack, a former AFL player who suffered greatly when he tried to
conform to sport’s rigid notions of masculinity, and was
liberated when he reimagined what it meant to be a man.
