The program of OzAsia’s Festival’s Weekend of Words has been released. The largest gathering of Asian and Asian Australian writers and thinkers in the country will come together from 8-10 November at Adelaide Festival Centre for a weekend of conversations, panels and workshops.
Visitors can celebrate grassroots publishing at the Zine Fair, browse at the pop-up Book Shop and the Street Library, and learn new skills in workshops covering writing in its various forms – from comedy to hip hop.
