This inaugural Conversations (a Feast of Poetry & Music) event will feature some artists from the 2026 Interplay cohort who are spoken word poets and writers. Each artist will be given a 15-minute performance slot to share their poetry live during which another artist will respond to their words with instrumental music underscoring the spoken word. It is a conversation between poets and musicians occurring in real time. It will give our artists another platform to explore and extend their creative practice and self-expression, particularly through mindful improvisation. The audience gets to witness something rare and beautiful – an original organic conversation never to be replicated.
Nexus Arts acknowledges the Kaurna people as the owners of the land where we live, learn, and work. We respect their culture and elders and acknowledge their sovereignty was never ceded. We recognise that visual arts, music and storytelling have been central to Aboriginal cultures for over 70,000 years. We work to support this lineage.
