This year, the Women Who Dare exhibition and workshop program at Adderton highlights 160 years of pioneering, risk-taking and innovative work by the Sisters of Mercy in Brisbane.

Taking inspiration from this work, hear from contemporary changemakers in a conversation celebrating their contributions and looking at the different pathways, tools and experiences they are using to build momentum and make lasting cultural and social change, including Janine Hendry who harnessed the energy for the 2021 March4Justice and Chair of GetUp Carla McGrath, and a performance from Voices of Colour.
