To cook Cook or not

Wednesday, 29 April 2020

6 - 9pm

Sydney Town Hall, Centennial Hall

On the 250th anniversary of Cook’s landing, we challenge the dominant narrative that the arrival of a British sailor who pillaged his way across the Pacific is a more impressive story than the 60,000 years of continuous history of Australia’s Indigenous people.


On 29 April 2020, First Nations artists will take centre stage in one of our most historic buildings – Sydney Town Hall – to flip this flawed history and debate the question: ‘To cook Cook or not?’


Supported by The Balnaves Foundation.
