Being a girlboss meant that you could have it all, a renlentlessly demanding job, the side hustle that swallowed your downtime, and a phone that never stops pinging.

Goodbye Girlboss | All About Women 2023

Since time immemorial, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have looked after human, spiritual and ecological wellbeing. Many First Nations women's activism is empowered through continuation of a long history of matriarchs who embody kinship and moral responsibility to community and country. This session will examine how this activism intersects and conflicts with mainstream feminism today. In this session from All About Women 2023, a multi-generational panel featuring: Jackie Huggins, Teela Reid, Marlene Longbottom and host Courtney Fewquandie, looks at the movements Blak women have mothered and led, alongside fights that could be considered feminist issues - like equal pay and justice, violence and coercive control, leadership and movement building.-Watch talks from Antidote 2022 on Stream, the streaming platform from the Sydney Opera House.

Actually Autistic | All About Women 2023

Legendary punk band Bikini Kill headlined Sydney Opera House’s 2023 All About Women Festival with a reminder of what it was like to perform in a male-dominated music industry in the 90s. They represented anarchist feminist music and encouraged disobedience in young women, emboldening them to publish zines and start bands as acts of cultural resistance. In this session, Bikini Kill’s lead singer Kathleen Hanna, and bassist Kathi Wilcox, were joined by writer and Bikini Kill mega fan Marieke Hardy to talk about new ways to speak out, the balance between activism, anger, and joy, and how the band's blistering message is once again bringing girls to the front.-Watch talks from Antidote 2022 on Stream, the streaming platform from the Sydney Opera House.

It Happened To Me | Antidote 2022

In the wake of multiple political crises in the United States, a rich and powerful China increasingly asserts itself. How does Australia navigate this new world order? China will soon overtake the US as the world’s largest economy and has swiftly become a strategic powerhouse with relationships across the globe. With America’s deep political divisions and diminishing consensus around key democratic norms, it’s hard to argue that China’s rise won’t be accompanied by a greater say in global decisions, impacting countries like Australia. Geremie R. Barmé, Linda Jaivin, and Vicky Xu came together at Antidote 2022 to discuss the threats and opportunities for Australia in the midst of these geopolitical changes.

I never really enjoyed being in a band. It was in me, and it needed to come out. Like a 25-year exorcism. One day I woke up and I didn't have any more lyrics."

It's A Long Story: Henry Rollins

Michael Pollan

During his 2014 visit to the Sydney Opera House Michael Pollan said “I write books about what I’m interested in”. And at that point, he was interested in food production, diet, and ways we eat. Now he’s turned his attention to a different type of edible, with his new book about psychedelics, and the effects they can have on depression, addiction, and on our very sense of self. Reacquaint yourself with this visionary thinker ahead of his return to Sydney Opera House on Saturday 20 July.

Alicia Garza

Stan Grant

#BlackLivesMatter has become the call to action for a generation of US human rights activists to denounce the violence and prejudice still experienced by African Americans. In the wake of the violent deaths of African Americans Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner and many others call for change is insistent and consistent.  So what does need to change in politics, in the media and in everyday lives to transform race relations and ensure justice and recognition for all? Following the 2013 acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, Alicia Garza took to social media to express her outrage. With Opal Tometi and Patrisse Cullors, she turned the powerful words “Black Lives Matter” into a social media phenomenon and an organizing network that boasts more than 26 chapters internationally. Currently the Special Projects Director for the National Domestic Workers Alliance, Alicia previously served as Executive Director of People Organized to Win Employment Rights, where she led the charge on significant initiatives, including organizing against the chronic police violence in black neighborhoods.

Dee Madigan

When is political advertising actually propaganda? And how do we tell the difference? In a fractured media environment with innumerable advocates clamouring for our attention, is it all propaganda now?  Chaired by Michael Williams  A high school teacher by trade, Dee Madigan joined the world of advertising in 1996 and since has been winner or finalist at most major ad awards, including Cannes. If ever there was a tampon ad shot on a foreign beach, you can be sure Dee wrote it – and attended the shoot. Her campaigns included some of the world’s biggest brands – HSBC, Powerade, Commonwealth Bank, Diet Coke, J&amp;J, Rexona and Nestle – and Dee also has extensive social marketing experience ranging from federal government campaigns, to the National Heart Foundation, The Cancer Council, the Australian Breast Cancer Institute and the UNHCR. She has worked on 10 election campaigns and most recently she was Creative Director for the Queensland Labor Party for its 2015 election win. She is a panellist on the ABC show Gruen, a political commentator on Sky and is the author of The Hard Sell as well as a contributing author on Mothermorphosis (MU) and Perspectives on Change (ANU).

Who Gets to Speak - ANTIDOTE 2019

David Neiwert

 "Dehumanisation is the essential program of the radical right." David Neiwert believes that the so-called “alt-right” of right-wing populists in America has been born of a toxic mix of factors: mainstream conservatives unifying with the racist far-right; a young, media-savvy generation of online white supremacists, and forces in the right-wing media feeding hostility. Throw in the historical strains of xenophobia, racism, misogyny and resentment, and you've got yourself a cultural phenomenon. David Neiwert, author of Alt-America: the Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump, examines the growth of extremist groups, their influence on Trump politics, and how we can work for positive change in a world that trades on sensationalism. He was with The New York Times Australian bureau chief, Damian Cave at ANTIDOTE 2018. Watch David in Fringe-Dwellers and Fanatics.   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
