- **Event Description**: A powerful conversation with Randa Abdel-Fattah, Discipline, Gaza, Censorship and the fight for free speech in Australia.About this EventIn Conversation with: Randa Abdel-FattahJoin us at the Nowra School of Arts for a powerful and timely conversation with DrRanda Abdel-Fattah, award-winning Australian author, lawyer, sociologist and humanrights advocate as she discusses her 2025 novel Discipline, a compelling exploration ofcensorship, conscience and the cost of silence in academia and the media against thebackdrop of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. Discipline uses fiction to probe urgentquestions about the ethics of speaking up, the power dynamics of storytelling, and howsocieties respond when voices are marginalised.Dr Abdel-Fattah’s scheduled appearance at the 2026 Adelaide Writers’ Week becamea flashpoint in national debates about freedom of expression after the Adelaide Festivalboard withdrew her invitation on “cultural sensitivity” grounds, sparking the withdrawalof hundreds of authors and the eventual cancellation of the festival, an episode thatforegrounded deep tensions within Australia over free speech, cultural inclusion, andpolitical pressure in the arts.In this conversation, Randa Abdel-Fattah will reflect not only on her literary work butalso on the broader implications of these cultural conflicts for civil liberties in Australiawith a focus on how debates about Palestine, censorship and dissent are playing out inpublic life, particularly in New South Wales and beyond.We’ll also touch on the invitation of Israeli President Isaac Herzog to Australia acontroversial diplomatic event that drew national protests, raised questions aboutsolidarity, censorship, and asylum for dissenting voices, and highlighted the fault linesin Australia’s public discourse on genocide, international law and community cohesion.This is an unmissable event for anyone interested in literature, human rights, freedom ofexpression, and the intersection of storytelling with global and local politics.
