Still Talking 'Bout a Revolution
Nancy Bates sings Tracy Chapman
Barkindji woman, and esteemed singer-songwriter, Nancy Bates reflects on the songs of Tracy Chapman, and their relevance to race relations in Australia today.
After four years on the road with Archie Roach, arguably Australia’s most compelling and talented writers and performers, Nancy has been spurred on to become a powerful presence in women’s prisons, an advocate for Mental Health, and Ambassador to the Australian Performing Rights Association.
Her powerful performances drench her audience in her love, her pain, and through deep dived words and sharp wit, deliver a 'call to action' that is impossible to ignore.
Through the songs of Tracy Chapman, Nancy Bates shines a light on the violation of Human Rights of Indigenous peoples in Australia, to stimulate hope and inspire affirmative action.
" It's not that we aren't speaking, and that we don't have solutions. The solutions are well known, it's the inability of Australia to HEAR US, and to STAND BY US in our struggles and our triumphs, both of which are many." Nancy Bates 2021
Nancy Bates will be accompanied by esteemed musicians Kyrie Anderson, Felicity Freeman and Ryan Martin John to deliver an outstanding musical performance and revolutionary experience.
