Patricia Ryder will introduce the concept of truth-telling at an international, national, and local level, and discuss the individual response. She will speak to why truth-telling in Australia is the vital first step in moving toward genuine reconciliation, fostering healing, promoting justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and building a more accurate shared national identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Once Known<\/em> at the Old Perth Boys&#8217; School presents reproductions of the delicate and culturally significant artworks created by Aboriginal children forcibly taken from their families and detained at the Carrolup Native Settlement in the 1940s.
