This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations. We acknowledge that First Nations Peoples are the first storytellers of this land, and that their sovereignty has never been ceded. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and to the Elders of the lands this podcast reaches.
Vignettes, the EWF storytelling podcast, is back for its third season: Spring. From November, we’ll be sharing brand new audio stories from emerging writers across the continent. With readings spanning genres, forms and themes, the podcast will feature personal essays, poetry and short stories on everything from mothering to the politics of food.
We hope these episodes will provide you with new worlds to escape into and new ways to reflect on the world we’re living in.

Listen in as Maddie Godfrey reads their poem 'When Does Your Body Feel Like It Belongs To You?'. This was created for the Emerging Writers' Festival 2021, as a part of the series 'Dis-belonging Bodies'.
Life, death, healing, hydrating, water is all these things - symbolically and literally - and so much more.
In this final episode of our Autumn Season of Vignettes, we have invited Natalie Cromb, Hineani Roberts, Nikki Viveca to share with us their thoughts on waves and whirlpools and waterways.
Let's dive in...
Through season one, we loved bringing readings directly to you from some of our favourite writers. And we’re excited to do it again with Season Two. This time around, we’ll have five new episodes to carry you through leafy Autumn.
For this episode, we invited Julia Rose Bak, Hajer Al-awsi and Dzenana Vucic to respond to the theme of Skin. We can’t wait for you to hear what these three incredible artists have in store for Mineral.

For this episode, we invited Lorna Munro, Harry Reid and Damien Becker to respond to the theme of Stick. We asked them to consider the sticking points of life - from stoking flames to building bridges, and we can’t wait for you to hear what they have in store.
Vignettes, a podcast from the Emerging Writers’ Festival, is back for a second season! Throughout autumn, we’ll hear original readings from artists, responding to themes drawn from the world of nature.

This first episode of themed 'Fungi'. We’re so excited to share these reflections of connection, community and weaving with you – with Nardi Simpson and Aisha Trambas.
Our final episode of the season is Lunar. We asked three artists to ponder the night sky – to turn towards the moon as she hangs, watching over us. Tune in to hear from Lay the Mystic, Prema Arasu and Georgia Kartas as they respond to the theme Lunar.
For this episode of Vignettes, we invited Yamiko Marama, Vince Ruston and Lou Garcia Dolnik to respond to the prompt “moth” – to share with us the dreams they pin on the wing span of these fluttering friends.
For our third episode, we’ll hear from artists Jesse Oliver and Jazz Money with their creative responses to the theme, 'Plant'.
We invited them to reflect on their connections to the green, moving, breathing things - from houseplants to forest floors - that we are so lucky to co-exist with.
When you cast your mind up towards the sky, what do you think of? Perhaps you think of clouds, sunsets and shades of blue. Maybe your mind wanders further and reaches for instances of optimism, searching for opportunities and wandering into dream spaces.
For this episode, we invited Awale Ahmed, Christy Tan and Ruby Hillsmith to respond to the theme of Sky. We can’t wait for you to hear what they have in store.
For this first episode, we asked Philip Marri Winzer and Victoria Alondra to respond to the theme of 'Grain'. To us, grain speaks to the smallness of something at its beginning, which is why it felt like a perfect opener for this new podcast. But it’s also sustenance, building, the fibres of being and, of course, going against the grain.
We hope you enjoy hearing from these two spectacular artists.

What does it mean to be a poet? We reckon it’s something like having a voice that’s full of attitude, wit and sincerity, a voice that’s continually re-imagining what it means to be contemporary. Three poets present their unpublished works in progress in an audio project in collaboration with Cordite and Australian Poetry.
With Laniyuk, Dom Symes and Lucy Van
Presented in partnership with Australian Poetry and the Cultural Fund.

What flashes of understanding, which moments of ecstasy and despair, what memories linger in the days, months and years stacked up behind us? From the mundane to the monumental, from last Wednesday to last century, the fuzzy memories of yesterdays and yesteryears will be brought into crisp sonic relief by our stellar lineup of audio artists at this live listening party.
With Manisha Anjali, Erin Kyan, Fiona Murphy, Daisy Nduta and Anita Sanders
Hosted by Camilla Hannan, Curated and Produced by Kirby Fenwick
