Curate||Poetry

UPDATE: Event is ALMOST SOLD OUT. Please look out for the next event which will be within the next three months.

Curate||Poetry is where word art meets visual art: an inaugural showcase of Australia’s best poets performing their curated back catalogue in the cathedral-like comfort of Red Gallery, Fitzroy North. Here, poets are invited to write signature pieces that respond to the current exhibition with the hope of dismantling artistic boundaries, and inviting new audiences in.

Be transported from slam to stanza to quotes climbing from the canvas, with a cross-section line-up including award-winning poet||essayist||illustrator, Eloise Grills; Australian Slam Champion||Wordcraft convener, Ren Alessandra; and Lebanese-Palestinian poet||writer, Hasib Hourani.

Pop in for a drink, see some art, and get to know what Melbourne Poetry is all about.
