Public. Open. Space. Launch with Kate Larsen

Public. Open. Space is a collection of poetry inspired by spaces, places and situations that are controlled and contested online and in real life. From firewalls to feminism, activism to apathy, Public. Open. Space. explores freedom and suppression, censorship and silencing, propaganda and protest, as well as the difference between being told ‘no’ and choosing to say it ourselves. Positioned at the intersection of poetic and digital culture, this collection explores the sense of placelessness increasingly resonant for all of us who live and work in the digital realm.

Kate Larsen is a writer, arts and cultural consultant currently based on Kaurna yerta in Tarntanya/Adelaide. As one of Australia's best known social media poets, her alter ego Katie Keys wrote and posted a daily #TinyLittlePoem for over a decade. Join Kate and guests for an afternoon of poetry and conversation about Public. Open. Space.
