Manisha Anjali – Melbourne Writers Festival

Thin Red Lines, a Naarm-based poetry event, celebrates its sixth anniversary with six writers.

Drawing on notions of doorways and transitions, co-hosts Thabani Tshuma and Georgia Kartas have curated a line-up based on the Roman god Janus. Janus was depicted as having two faces: one facing the past and one facing the future.

Featuring writers Manisha Anjali, Afra Atiq, Daniel Browning, Hasib Hourani, Nam Le and Micaela Sahhar, Thin Red Lines brings together three artists from their past events and three from their future for an evening of storytelling, poetry, celebration and the transcendence of time.

Drinks will be available to purchase from The Moat pop-up bar on the night.
