As part of Constellations, hear young writers Olivia De Zilva and Lauren Fuge in a candid discussion about creating art in a world that feels increasingly fragile.

In conversation with Laura Pietrobon, Olivia and Lauren will explore questions including: how does the state of the world challenge our ability to write? Why is it essential for young people to tell stories about their realities? And what does it mean to create art while living in a world that often feels like it’s failing?

The conversation will touch on themes from Olivia De Zilva’s Plastic Budgie and Eggshell, works rooted in problematic and defiant nostalgia, and Lauren Fuge’s Voyagers, which explores the drive to explore and reimagine the future of our world.
