Our guest performer for the evening is none other than the 2025 AUSTRALIAN POETRY SLAM CHAMPION Arantza Garcia Ferrand!
Arantza Garcia Ferrand is an emerging Peruvian writer and member of the Latin American community in Adelaide, South Australia. Arantza uses her story-teller voice to bring life into the dead, quiet moments that surround us, as she explores her ever-evolving cultural identity, and the silent poetry of our everyday lives. Arantza is the 2025 Australian Poetry Slam Champion, having competed in the national finals at the Sydney Opera House, and has performed at several festivals, galleries, and charity events. She will tour her poetry internationally during 2026.
