Jackie Ryan’s works are back for this years Brisbane Writers Festival!
Writers on the Wall 2 takes over the Underground Theatre Foyer at the Brisbane Powerhouse for one week only. As you enter the industrial chic of Brisbane Powerhouse for this year’s Brisbane Writers Festival, your eye is drawn – powerfully, irresistibly – to a series of images that adorn the walls. Is this for the Portrait Prize? you wonder. World Press Photo? But no – as you step closer, as your vision adjusts in the cool dark of your surrounds, you begin to realise that these artworks may lie beyond your frame of reference.
Do you see anyone familiar?
Essay writer, Carody Culver, states “The Writers on the Wall series doesn’t just demonstrate what exceptional posers these authors are. It celebrates its subjects’ magnificence through a new lens, playfully embodying BWF’s mandate to put the festive in festival and reminding you of art’s boundless capacity to entertain and enchant.
Your satisfaction is twofold. First, you can congratulate yourself on having solved this literary version of Where’s Wally. Second, you can revel in its unapologetic display of authorial star power, it’s dauntless imperative to put writers where they should perhaps be asked to spend more time: in the spotlight.”
