LoginThe Writer as an Agent of Change
Join African-Australian speculative fiction author and 2024 Hedberg Writer-in-Residence Eugen Bacon for a stimulating discussion on the power of storytelling. Through a keynote talk and readings, Eugen will explore how we can leverage our stories to address crucial themes of belonging, climate action, social in/justice, engaging with difference and more. The conversation will include an Ask-Me-Anything session, and Eugen will be available for a book-signing at the conclusion.
Born in Tanzania and based in Melbourne, Eugen Bacon is the author of several novels and collections. She’s a British Fantasy Award winner, a Victorian Premier’s Literary Award finalist (for her most recent novel Serengotti), a Foreword Indies Award winner, twice a World Fantasy Award finalist, and a finalist in the Shirley Jackson, Philip K. Dick Award, and the Nommo Awards for speculative fiction by Africans. Her work has appeared in some of the world’s most esteemed fantasy, science fiction and African literary magazines.
