Programmed by Mia Palmer-Verevis in partnership with the Emerging Writers Festival, faciliated by Autumn RoyalBlindside ARI and Emerging Writers Fest
Ekphrasis is the practice of rendering an artwork as text. As part of Blindside and the Emerging Writers Festival’s 2024 Ekphrastic Writing Program, Naarm-based poet and critic Dr Autumn Royal will reveal the history of ekphrasis to illuminate the relationship between literary and visual realms. Participants are invited to expand on this form by writing their own ekphrastic text in response to original artworks.
Featuring writing by Ava Nunan, Ange Crawford, Natalie Bühler, and Dorcas Maphakela
This program took place on the unceded sovereign land of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We pay respect to their elders, past and present.
