Bonus Episode Live From The Sydney Opera House: Black Panther & Colonisers

In this special live episode, presented and recorded at the Sydney
Opera House as part of the All About Women festival, Nakkiah and
Miranda are joined by actor and budding director Shari Sebbens to
unpack the fall out from the Marvel blockbuster Black
Panther.

They discuss how and why colonialism has become a subtext for
mainstream blockbusters from Thor Ragnarok to Black Panther, and
consider whether Australia is ready to play with terminology seeped
in the violence of colonisation. 

Can a First Nations woman jokingly refer to a white Australian as a
“coloniser” without blow back? Is Australia ready to be playful
with language and stories from the colonial period?
