Your local organiser and facilitator for The Victoria Park Writer’s Festival is Mimma Tornatora.
Mimma has lived locally in the community of Victoria Park for over 20 years.
She is an active and passionate community member as well as being a published local poet and author, teacher, editor, and facilitator. Mimma is also a published writer.
One of her biggest passions and hobbies is POETRY. In fact, she founded the Victoria Park Poetry in early 2024 with meetings held monthly at the Victoria Park Library.
Mimma founded the inaugural Victoria Park Writer’s Festival in 2024, which she made happen through a Town of Victoria Park Arts Grant.
Another successful Arts Grant obtained this year ensures that The Writer’s Festival can continue in 2025. With the local support from the following community organisations - Town of Victoria Park, Victoria Park Community Centre and Victoria Park Centre for the Arts & the Town of Victoria Park Library, Mimma looks forward to making the writers’ festival an annual event for the local community.
