Public Lecture at the Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne University

Yesterday we gave our first public lecture on Imaginary Jewish Homelands at the Victorian College of the Arts at the University of Melbourne. There was a crowd of over 100 people comprised of art students, professors, curators, as well as one of the most prominent writers in the literary scene of Australia, Arnold Zable. Zable is known for his work on migration and human rights. We're having coffee with him tomorrow.

 Federation Hall, one of the nicest venues we've ever lectured at.
