Addi Road Writers’ Festival 2024 (#ARWF2024) is about to celebrate its fourth year in Marrickville as one of Australia’s most innovative literary and storytelling events.
Our theme this year is ‘Cost of Living’. Financial costs are just the start of what that phrase really means. To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, we increasingly know the price of everything and the value of nothing. We need to think more broadly and differently.
What is the existential cost of continually extracting from people's lives when they struggle to get by? The true worth of maintaining our humanity and connection to a community (local, national, global)? The worth of creative relationships and our stories? The restorative and liberating role of art, music and literature in the face of disempowerment, confusion and horror?
Through writing and other forms of storytelling we receive affirmations as well as visions of the future. And it’s through conversation that we develop a shared sense of who and what we are – and what our world can be.
#ARWF2024 features talks and panels about books, writing, politics and ideas, accompanied by spoken word and music performances at the community centre in Sydney’s
Marrickville. Some of these panels and talks on the day include...
= Until Justice Comes (slideshow with the photographer Juno Gemes and Linda Burney in conversation)
= Stones in Strange Waters (a journey into poetry and prose)
= A New Class of Journalism (young Walkley Opportunity Fellowship winners discuss how they see the the media)
= Squishface (a cartooning workshop for kids)
= Rox Lavi (First Nations hip hop artist talks about his work and performs)
= Drawing Wonder Woman (DC Comics artists Nicola Scott presents a slideshow and talks about the art of graphic storytelling)
