Tales from the Bush is a gathering of three Indigenous women sharing stories and reflections, both critically and lovingly, on body, land, and how desire is performed, gathered, reflected, shared and celebrated within our communities. Together, we cultivate worlds of pleasure and joy as a love letter to all things worth fighting for.
