​FESTIVAL EVENT 2021

online via zoom 
Food for thought
Sam van Zweden with Fiona Wright
Date:  Saturday 9 October 2021
Time: 14.30 - 15.30 AEDT
Location: Zoom video conferencing app. To set up zoom download from zoom.us/download.
In her personal and cultural exploration of what it means to eat in the broken food system within which we live, Sam van Zweden doesn’t hold back from exploring the links between food and family, food and mental illness, trauma and hunger but also talks about the pleasure and joy of eating. She is in conversation with Fiona Wright.
Our Festival bookseller, Better Read than Dead, can provide all the Festival books.
