Bruce Pascoe: Big Sky
ABOUT THE SHOW
What happens when an Aboriginal farmer and an astrophysics professor look to the heavens and talk about what they see?
Big Sky chronicles a powerful and perspective-shifting dialogue between award-winning Dark Emu author Bruce Pascoe and accomplished astrophysicist Ray Norris. It’s both an illuminating meeting of minds and a vital union of science and philosophy, showing us what we can learn from millennia of First Nations sky knowledge and how it can help us navigate the ecological uncertainty of our future.
