Storytelling | Poetry | Live Music | Social Catering | Creative Connection

For the Love of Words would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands that we meet on, Gadigal Land of the Eora Nation.

We pay respect to Elders past present and emerging, and all First Nations people who are tuning in/reading on line.

We pay respect to the tradition of stories passed down through generation, ancient wisdom that taught interconnectedness of lands and living beings.

We are grateful to create and build with words in these lands.

Always was and Always will be Aboriginal Land.

Feature Artist: AnSo (they/them) @an.so.ie

As a self-described sculptor of sound existing and creating on Gadigal land, South Korean artist, AnSo’s works are ever-evolving, like a blob of clay on a throwing wheel, the hands of the sculptor, feeling, moulding, collapsing, rising. AnSo’s music is raw and confronting, the back-and- forth weave of Korean and English lyrics representing the way their thoughts sound in their head whilst their uniqueness of sound comes from their love of field recordings, manipulating, distorting, and sculpting sounds to how they see fit.

Ticket price goes toward Feature artist cover, running cost of the venue, development of FLoW community (website would be nice!!!!!) and the beautifully catered food by the refugee chefs at Parliament on King. Purchase tickets by 15 July for Early Bird rates! Concession rate applies for students and those undergoing financial difficulties.

There will be drinks and food for purchase available at Garden Lounge Bar!
