From the frontlines of black activism to the halls of mainstream culture, Foley presents a colourful personal history and a dissident narrative of an Australian half-century.
For more than forty years, Foley has been deeply involved in the continuing struggle against foreign invasion. As activist, academic and actor, he’s been one of the key figures in ensuring that the Aboriginal experience is not written out of this land’s history. Having spent decades spinning the yarns of black Australia, both past and present, he now uses his well-honed skills as trouble-maker, teacher and teller of tales to bring his experiences to the stage.
