Arts Forum: Jazz Money - Deep Time Yarn

Dechaineux Theatre, Hunter Street, Hobart

Presented in collaboration with the School of Creative Arts and Media, as part of the Arts Forum series

Join us for an Arts Forum conversation with Wiradjuri and Irish poet and artist Jazz Money where we discuss deep time, hope, the Blak Republic Revolution, Indigenous cyber sovereignty, poetry, and just maybe, how to make a future.

Jazz Money is a poet and artist of Wiradjuri and Irish heritage producing works that encompass installation, digital, performance, film, and print.

Their writing has been widely published nationally and internationally, and performed on stages around the world, including: TEDx Sydney, the Edinburgh International Book Festival, the Sydney Opera House, Literature Live! Mumbai, Performance Space New York, PEN International, and a wide range of arts and literary festivals in every Australian state and territory.

Jazz's first poetry collection, the best-selling how to make a basket (UQP, 2021) was the 2020 winner of the David Unaipon Award. In 2023 she is a Clothing Store resident artist at Carriageworks in Sydney.
