Melanesians are storytellers by birthright. Over 100,000 Melanesians live in so-called Australia, yet their stories are rarely heard. Join storytellers Ella Rowe (PNG), Tahlia Bowen (PNG), Koteka Wenda (West Papua) and Mereani Qalovakawasa (Fiji) for Stori: Storytelling in Melanesia, as part of the 2026 Emerging Writers’ Festival. Through words, art, music and Tok Stori, hear spellbinding tales of their homelands.
