From Oddysseus to Du Fu and Fromelles, the glorious dead say one thing - give us life over death, waste no more in war.

Poets from Egypt to Shakespeare, Du Fu to White Antelope, recognise that life is brief, that we are more than our bodies. What does that shared thread mean for war?

In 751 CE the Chinese poet Du Fu wrote of men marching to war. The message then and now is the same - remembrance is not consent.

The act of colonialism continues long after domination of an Indigenous people, felt and seen in both the ongoing formal and informal mechanisms that persist centuries later.

Regardless of the symbols we use or heritage we claim, we are all people of the world, all equals.
