About
Join us for the launch of the novel In the Name of the Trees by multi-awarded Filipina-Australian writer Merlinda Bobis on October 19, 2025, 11 AM to 12 noon at the Philippine Stand, Hall 5.1 A95 and B95. Watch her video performance on this evocative exploration of ecology and heritage, where trees become witnesses and participants in generational memory and trauma. Between the Philippines and Australia is the enduring impact of colonisation and war on women’s bodies and spirits—but they are ‘hardwood women’ and they survive!
