Free Poetry Writing Workshop

  • Free
  • Talk

Multi-instrumentalist, mixed media artist and producer Juniper Care hosts a free writing workshop at Section 8.

Dedicated to bridging gaps across cultures and communities, Juniper’s art focuses on identity, personal exploration and the nuances of human experience. He's been featured in Beat Magazine, ABC and SBS and he’s toured his work around the globe, recently performing at The Forum in Melbourne.

Always in full creative control, Juniper makes the most authentic and distilled work he can. The genre-fusing sounds of his music are a reflection of his conflicted identity growing up in the mixed-culture environment of Hong Kong. Boundless in form and creativity, Juniper Care cannot wait to present you with something that will make you laugh, cry, shout, or all at once.

Juniper invites you to mingle with other writers, share your work and listen to records in a safe space.

No bookings required, just rock up.
