Celeste Liddle, International Women's Day Keynote speaker, Queen Victoria Women's Centre

Ask Arrernte woman Celeste Liddle what she hopes women and feminists to achieve in the next year and her answer is: 'I'm not sure that I want them to achieve anything".

Instead, the celebrated writer and unionist wants 'the focus to shift. I think that the currently popular dialogues of choice and individual empowerment ignore the privilege that is required to access these things."

This is a more complex and nuanced form of feminism that requires understanding where we sit within the world, how it operates and that equality is for all, not just our own personal experience.

Celeste's speech will focus on her 'journey as an Indigenous feminist and those who influenced me along the way". It's the navigation between being indigenous and a woman that has defined her activism: 'I see both as being a fight to decolonise – land, body, space, stories and pretty much everything. Therein lies the key to liberation."
