Voices Under Fire: Stories from Gaza

Join me at this event on 6 November to bear witness to the lives of Gazans experiencing genocide. 

For one night, we’ll come together as a community to read the poetry and first-hand accounts of Palestinians who have had to flee their homeland, those who have been martyred, and those who are still surviving the daily nightmare. All ticket sales will go to families currently in Gaza to help them buy food, medicine and other necessities.

Drawing of people speaking and reading with Palestinian flag and event details.

Indelible City & Who Needs the ABC? | Willy Lit Fest

I’m presenting a couple of sessions at Willy Lit Fest next weekend: First, an in-conversation with writer and podcaster Louisa Lim (Indelible City) about resistance and heartbreak in Hong Kong, then a panel with academic Matthew Ricketson (Who Needs the ABC?) and broadcaster, comedian and commentator Sami Shah about the role of the ABC and the future of public broadcasting. So come west! You can also catch me at EWF’s Club Critique the day before.
