As soon as the ink is dry, an essay collection becomes a time capsule. Flora Feltham and Cher Tan (Australia) weigh the dilemma of writing from the inside of your own life as the world paces forward. What happens when you move on, but your words remain? Chaired by Leah Jing McIntosh (Australia).

A discounted ‘Ticket + book’ bundle is available for a copy of Bad Archive by Flora Feltham, or Peripathetic: Notes on (un)belonging by Cher Tan. If purchased, your book can be collected from Unity Books, 57 Willis Street, Wellington in advance of the festival, or at the event from Unity's book table.
