Asylum Seekers Bring Poetry To Sydney

Staff Writer

World Travels' Story Fest tour for asylum awareness

World Travel's Story Fest is filling up The Rocks, Sydney Dance Lounge and Sydney Opera House with a storm of poetry on the 9 -11 October.

The event will include poetry slams (including the Australian Poetry Slam NSW and National Finals), discussions, forums, and a special event Writing Through Fences, featuring Hani Aden, Yarrie Bungarra and Kaveh Arya; three refugee wordsmiths that sough asylum in Australia.

With stories and poems "told with passion, vulnerability and authenticity," be sure to secure your tickets on the World Travel's website, to experience an eye-opening event that fuels the contemporary discussion on asylum.
