Bimblebox 153 Birds

Overview

There's more to literary love-ins than those who wield words giving voice to them. At Brisbane Writers Festival 2015, there's also an innovative and unique installation of artist prints, poetry, prose and musicians that enliven the communication of our ornithological friends — aka bird calls.

Honing in on the flying species that call the Bimblebox Nature Refuge home, Bimblebox 153 Birds celebrates the ways wildlife connects with each other. It also makes a statement about creatures in a place that could be destroyed by a coal mine, which makes dropping by on your way to a more traditional BWF session more than just a good way to break up your festival experience.
