MEERTA: RISE UP! THE BALLAD OF JAMES ARDEN

SATURDAY 9 AUGUST

7:30PM

In 1916, activist James Arden made a stand for Gunditjmara people against the missionaries and the station manager who controlled their movement. His story is a tale of identity, friendship, repatriation, racism, freedom and fighting for your rights.

Now, David Arden, the renowned co-founder of The Black Arm Band, shares the story of his Great Grandfather and the Gunditjmara People in a powerful piece of truth-telling and intimately personal theatre.
