Description
Judith Wright (1915-2000) remains a giant figure
within Australian art, culture and politics. Her 1946
collection of poetry, The Moving Image, revolutionised
Australian poetry. She helped to establish the modern

player in early campaigns for Aboriginal land rights.

inspiration to many.

major new work, the biographical picture we have had

Wright and forces us to reconsider the
