Due to the coronavirus situation, the final event of this residency scheduled for 20th March has had to be cancelled.
In partnership with the Adelaide City Library, SWSA is pleased to announce that our first Poet-in-Residence for 2020 is Deb Stewart with her project Mapping the Human City.
Join Deb to explore your connections to the City of Adelaide through poetry. Capture your memories and reflections, with an emphasis on human interaction with city buildings, spaces and landmarks. Together we will create collaborative and individual poems that map the ‘human city’ and discover what Adelaide means to us.
Deb will be running three workshops in the Library followed by a performance of work developed during the project.
