Events Disrupted Festival of Ideas Sat 18 – Sun 19 June 2022

Boffins is excited to be the official bookseller for the State Library's 8th annual Disrupted Festival of Ideas. This year's festival explores the theme of honesty and truth, which come at a cost. Honesty takes great strength, and truth can be challenging and liberating.

There are conversations many would prefer not to have and realities that challenge perception. There is recognition that one person's truth may not align with that of another and that there are universal truths that cannot be avoided. There is awareness that honesty and sharing your story can come at a personal cost. Your truth can impact relationships, reset your life and impact the lives of others. Conforming to societal norms and not challenging the status quo can also impact your physical well-being and mental health.

All sessions will be held in the State Library Discovery Lounge and will be Auslan interpreted and live streamed on the State Library YouTube channel. All sessions are FREE and no booking is required (excluding Death Cafe - booking TBC). Please keep an eye on the State Library website and social media for updates.
