Em Starr

Indulge in one hour of shared sustained silence, in a simple ritual to concentrate on the thing we want to do — but so often find many reasons not to — write.

Writing about the self, whether it be through the lens of memoir, or in fiction, holds endless scope for possibility, experimentation, and discovery. It also goes hand in hand with myriad ethical considerations and creative challenges.

Join us for an evening of multimodal performances and visual treats as writers and artists come together to revel in the light, after dark.

Words and sounds are the mediums we turn to, to channel these transformative events. Join us Melbourne Museum to hear stories and tributes to experiences that rooted these artists to the earth or led them to transcend it.
