Kathrin Bartha-Mitchell, a postdoctoral fellow at Goethe University, Frankfurt, shares insights from her upcoming book on contemporary Australian literature and the Anthropocene. She explores how literature can challenge colonial narratives and illuminate Indigenous perspectives on environmental justice. Discussions include the interplay between agriculture and colonial legacies, and how storytelling serves as a tool for cultural resilience and activism. Bartha-Mitchell argues for the arts as vital in reimagining our relationship with the planet amid crisis.
