Director’s Screening: You Can Go Now

Directed by award-winning filmmaker and author Larissa Behrendt, You Can Go Now looks at the life and provocative work and writings of First Nations artist, Richard Bell. It reveals the ‘two Richards’ – the provocateur and enfant terrible of the art world who challenges its whiteness; and the Richard who spent his childhood living in a tin shed, learnt his politics on the streets of Redfern and is known in his own community as an activist. 

Larissa Behrendt will introduce her film and hold a Q&A in conversation with Wendy McCarthy AO after the screening.
