Red Dirt Poetry Festival

July 28, 2016 - July 31, 2016

The second biennial four-day spoken word celebration in Alice Springs.

Built on the back of the success of The Dirty Word and Alice Springs’ long and rich love affair with poetry, this festival will bring together poets and spoken word artists from all over Australia and overseas to continue building on our already sensation arts scene.

This year our festival follows in the inspirational steps of Ellen Van Neerven taking influence from her lines,

we are heat maps
our footprints never fade

Bring your poems and your passions, keep rebelling, resisting, and revolutionising our world.

We’ve put together an amazing lineup of poets, events to entertain and installations to stimulate.

We look forward to seeing you at the Red Dirt Poetry Festival in 2016!

Spread over several days, with artists like slam champ Desireé Dallagiacomo; musician, Sietta; Lawrence “Big Money” Gino, Victoria Alondra, Anupama Pilbrow, and Peril’s Eleanor Jackson, the festival is brought together by Laurie May and a team of dedicated creatives and you’ll need to check out the full website for details!

Please note: Peril provides these details as a courtesy, but we’re not in charge of the events, so please don’t harrass us if the Facebook page is down for a particular event – unless we make that really really clear, in which case you’ll know because we’ll probably be hounding to you come along.

We’re free to access and want to keep it that way. If you want to ensure Asian Australian voices – in all their diversity and complexity – continue to be heard, please consider making a donation.
