![]() ![]() I would like to acknowledge all the passionate AAW curators over the years, Ann Mossop, Danielle Harvey, Edwina Throsby and now co-curators Chip Rolley and Larissa Behrendt, and their dedicated, skilled teams. What started out as predominantly a talks event has transformed into a celebration of feminism for everyone, presented across a number of venues with hands-on workshops and visual arts, together with a diverse program of speakers from around the world. Just as the community has evolved, so too has the program. Since the first All About Women was presented in 2013, more than 72,000 people have attended the festival and millions more have watched the talks online. ![]() It’s that feeling of being part of a community of people of all ages and backgrounds, excited and inspired at having thought, experienced or learned something unexpected or new. You can feel it as you weave through the theatres and foyers, stop at the café or browse in the bookstore. All About Women has a unique energy and sense of connection, quite different from other festivals and talks I’ve been to at the Opera House. ![]()
