Secret Histories of City West - Walking Tour
Event description
How much do you remember about the Canberra of yesterday?
Seven poets and one musical duo have been invited to write about a real or imagined history of city west.
Come and explore the city with them, to hear their poems in-situ. Expect a multitude of windows into the past, fables about what was and might have been. You can also buy a copy of the zine where this poetic history is collected.
The tour will be hosted by Zoe Anderson and Aaron Kirby and feature Abhi Gupta, Andrew Moss, Asha Naznin, Blue, Karina Vennonen, Samia Goudie, and Yleia Mariano, with a musical response by The Cashews. This will be City West as you’ve never seen or heard it before.
If you would perfer an indoors version, you can also join Zoe, Aaron and the poets on Sunday 2 July for the zine launch and performance at Smith’s Alternative
This tour is a free event. Register to find out the tour meeting place.
The tour will finish in New Acton, where you can get some lunch at Parlour or Bicicletta before the next Poetic City event starts at 2pm - a reading by poets from Us Mob Writers for NAIDOC Week.
