Amazing babes, gather round! We’re bringing together an incredible line-up of artists to honour the people that have influenced them, inspired them, cared for them, and shared with them.

Three writers will discuss their work, their views on place, community engaged art, and the importance of celebrating the western suburbs in their work.

Jennifer Down explores the tension between labor and life, the inherent weirdness of sharing your work, and what it means to keep putting one foot in front of the other as a working writer.

Kathleen Gonzalez and Sermsah Bin Saad share their explorations – encapsulating heritage, spirit and soul as a symbol of Aboriginal cultural revival and resilience – in a performance and conversation.
