#About the event
Duration: 180 minutes
Join us for an elegant affair in the Queensland Art Gallery’s exquisite Water Mall, where you will be wined, dined and illumined by our keynote speaker, Booker Prize winner Shehan Karunatilaka. Reflecting on his stratospheric year and the possibilities of literature in a globalised world, Shehan calls on us to celebrate the sublime and the strange – the perfect note on which to begin this year’s Brisbane Writers Festival.
This event is only possible through the support of the Taylor Family.
If you have dietary requirements other than those available to choose during checkout, please contact BWF on 07 3126 0694 to book your ticket/s.
