The Unguarded Word
Installation with Sound, Listening Room, Spoken Word.

Going Down Swinging
A mindbomb that reverberates with distinctive Aussie spirit. Better than a double macchiato.” [Kalle Lasn, editor of Adbusters, author of Culture Jam and Design Anarchy] Made in Melbourne, Going Down Swinging (GDS) is an international literary journal publishing short stories, poetry, comic art and spoken word, all in the one book/CD package. Independently published since 1980, GDS now makes two issues a year, and also commissions new spoken word performances and graphic novellas for each issue.
