Frank Archibald Memorial Lecture 2024 presented by Dr Stan Grant (presentation only)

Yindyamarra: to live with dignity in a world of catastrophe. Take a snapshot of our world: forever wars, deep wealth inequality, environmental crisis, loss of trust, widening social and political division, failing democracy and rising authoritarianism. The most vulnerable people pay the price for the crimes of the elite and so-called leaders have no moral core. From where comes hope? In this lecture Wiradjuri man Stan Grant draws on his forty years as one of Australia’s most acclaimed and awarded journalists to speak back to our age. Deeply formed by his culture and his faith, Stan says we must resist the worst of modernity. For centuries humans have sought to make themselves gods and we have reached a point where humans themselves may be redundant. Now, Stan says we must ask what it is to live with dignity and how to recapture a sense of what is sacred.
