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.

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.

Hear how these multi-disciplinarians harness daily habits and routines that flow into their artistic practice. Gain a fresh mindset, and uncover fun, practical techniques to ignite your own creative process.

BLINDSIDE & EWF present the Ekphrastic Writing Program. This initiative invites four emerging writers to produce an ekphrastic response to an exhibition from Blindside ARI’s 20-year exhibition archive, culminating in a night of celebratory readings, where writers will share the works created, in front of the very artworks they have responded to.
