Words to be Spoken Aloud

8–10 March 2013

Words to be Spoken Aloud was a weekend festival of artworks by emerging and established artists that featured written text that is performative through its structure or form. Performances, installations and works on paper used text as a structure and medium; vocalisation as a point of transformation and realisation.
