The aim of APWT’s annual events is to provide a unique platform for engagement with international publishing networks particularly in the Asia Pacific.
This year’s theme, ‘Shared Dreams: Creative Practice in a Connected World’ will focus on how writing contributes to environmental and social justice issues while celebrating the imaginative possibilities of the form. Panels, discussion groups, readings, and book launches will revolve around the various interpretations of this theme.
Staged in Australia for the first time in seven years, this year’s program aims to introduce and highlight the diversity of Australian voices and writing. As part of a two-year program, supported by the Department of Foreign Affairs’ Australia-ASEAN Council, we will engage Indigenous Australian writers alongside a number of Indigenous writers from India and beyond.
