heritage in a world marred by social and political turbulence
The Words in Winter Festival returns to Daylesford this August, where a mix of LGBTIQA+, First Nations, local and visiting writers will explore the theme ‘connection of the heart’.
With over 30 events featuring poetry readings, children’s events, workshops, and author’s talks, the festival promises something for people of all tastes and appetites for interaction.
Set to run from Augst 23-25, Words in Winter is a literary and arts festival held in August in the Hepburn Shire and surrounding districts.
It’s a celebration of words, stories and ideas in all their forms shared by locals and visiting presenters through readings, poetry, theatre, music, talks, workshops, author talks, and exhibitions.
Among programmed events, “Clean Pages, Filthy Ink” is a spoken word poetry reading that delves into the intricate themes of cultural identity and political uprisings.
Through powerful verses and vivid imagery, Antonio Montaine explores the complexities of navigating cultural heritage in a world marred by social and political turbulence.
This performance promises to provoke thought, stir emotions, and ignite conversations about the intersections of personal identity and collective struggle.
