22 Pillars

22 PILLARS is a spoken word performance that blends the concept of understanding, being and belonging to a place with poetry. The project engages twenty-two emerging and established poets, who each explore and reveal a single aspect, archetype, architecture or facet of Fremantle through their writing.  Together, these performances will build up an overall picture of the shape, character and possibility of the Fremantle landscape, all imagined with words.

Poets/Performers: John Bluntschli, Jakob Boyd, Coral Carter, Liana Joy Christensen, Josephine Clarke, Shevaun Cooley, Trisha Kotai Ewers, Steven James Finch, Timothy Gallagher, Kevin Gillam, Ailsa Grieve, Amanda Joy, Rashida Murphy, Arad Niksefat, Sanna Peden, Jaya Penelope, Hessom Razavi, Zan Ross, Renee Pettit Schipp, Tineke Van der Eecken, Mararo Wangai, Connor Weightman and Colin Young.
