What does it mean to write the place you have lived? How do you harness the streets you have walked, and reflect back the people around you with care and consideration? In this special discussion event, these western suburbs writers come together to talk about the place, and the responsibility of writing it.

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.

Gather beneath stained glass for the final event of EWF24: an etheral spring banquet.

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.
