Welcome to Crossings, EWF’s in-conversation podcast.
Join us a series of in-conversations between local writers & artists.
Each episode pairs two artists whose practices exist at the threshold of one another. These free-flowing, intimate conversations are coloured by curiosity, attentiveness and enquiry.
Hear novelists, poets, playwrights, screenwriters, publishers, musicians, architects and photographers proffer questions and perspectives about the minutia of their creative and professional practices, and how they relate to the industry and engage in collaboration.
Catch a new Crossings conversation every Thursday in November 2023.
Crossings is produced by EWF Program Coordinator Jess Zanoni with co-production and audio engineering by Sam Pannifex, theme music by Georgia Farry, and artwork by Tinieka Page.
Crossings is produced on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations. We acknowledge that First Nations Peoples are the first storytellers of this land, and that their sovereignty has never been ceded. We pay respects to Elders past and present, and to the Elders of the lands that this podcast reaches.
