Finding great writing that makes you feel seen is hard – especially when you’re living in a fat body. Melbourne’s A Plus has gathered a posse of brilliant writers to reflect on their favourite writing about plus size bodies, and talk about what it feels like to address the elephant in the room. Through readings and discussion, we’ll shine a light on the power – and sometimes, difficulty – in being visible, taking up space, and writing against shame.
This event is a space for plus size folks and their allies.
