Are we too focused on race? Have recent anti-racist movements like The Voice and Black Lives Matter abandoned the colour-blind spirit of the civil rights pioneers?

Coleman Hughes is an American writer, podcaster and public intellectual known for his criticism of modern social-justice ideas about racism. In this special live feature of 'Uncomfortable Conversations with Josh Szeps', Coleman and Josh will wrestle with racial taboos like affirmative action, acknowledgements of country, the racial health gap, and Black American politics in an era of wokeness and Trump.

This one-night-only event promises to be a celebration of the power of conversation to connect, challenge and change our understanding of the world. Embark on a journey of intellectual exploration and candid dialogue as Coleman Hughes brings the provocative spirit of Szeps' widely acclaimed podcast to Melbourne.
