Red Book Launch

Thu 19 Nov 5:30pm - 8pm

Mylk Bar (Flinders Street), Adelaide

AI has its digital eyes targeted firmly on creativity. In response, emerging local creatives were challenged to write from what machines could not: the lived human experience.

Join us for a special evening of live readings from the book’s authors. Come hear their work, in their voices. Free entry but spaces limited so please register to secure your seats. Dinner, drinks and books available to purchase.

Doors open 5.30pm. Readings start from 6pm.

Red Anthology Blurb:

Technology reigns: the horrors of the modern world are streamed to our phones and AI mass produces shallow imitations of human creativity. Our humanity becomes dissolved into algorithms, leaving creative producers seeing something: Red.

In response, twelve South Australian writers were challenged to confront these changes by writing candidly and curiously from lived human experiences. The result is the third book in the Blue Feet Anthology Series: Red, a collection of mould-breaking stories and poems that celebrate our flawed and complex natures in a way that machines cannot replicate.

Proceeds raised through the sale of the Red go to Parkestone Foundation to support South Australian LGBTQIA+ projects.
