Three acclaimed poets, Jordie Albiston*, Tony Birch and Luka Haralampou, have been commissioned to respond to artworks in the Indigenous collection of the NGV. Rising from earth pigment to spoken word, and crossing cultural divides, this event promises to touch the core issues of how we respond to often challenging works of art. Presented by the Melbourne Overload Poetry Festival in partnership with the NGV.

*Jordie will not be able to join us, but her poems will be read by Petra White.
