Miriam Ana is a lutruwita/Tasmanian-born writer, poetry slam finalist and open mic enjoyer. After living in Naarm for five years, she has begun to call this place home. Miriam is an alumnus of the RMIT Bachelor of Creative Writing. Her work appears in various independent publications and ephemerally onstage.

Zoe Simmons is an award-winning journalist, editor, copywriter, author, speaker and disability advocate who fights to make a difference in the world--especially for the underrepresented disability community. She speaks and writes candidly about her experiences with disability, mental illness, autism and chronic pain to smash stigma, create change and help others know they aren't alone. Zoe can be found writing poems and books, including a project about her experiences as a disabled journalist in the now-forgotten Black Summer Bushfires.

Between Mirrors are a queer musical duo who combine pop, folk, and classical influences with a love of stories and dreams. Embracing the beauty of the weird and the strange, they aim to gently subvert the binaries around us through their music.

Mamma Chen’s acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and the Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation, the true owners of the land that we live and operate on. We would like to pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
