Andi Stewart is a queer galaxy in the shape of a poem. Four time Australian Poetry Slam finalist and two-time runner-up, his poetry hits the sweet spot between radical honesty and just-uncomfortable-enough to warrant second place. Founder of WhamBamSilverSlam and ROWDY, you may know him from the Opera House stage; his features at a myriad of events including Red Dirt Poetry Festival, Slamalamadingdong, and Enough Said Poetry Slam; his work with organisations such as Nayri Niara Festival, Wide Open Space Festival, WordTravels, and Tas Pride; or as the producer and regular performer at Wordcraft. His words explore queer identity, trans, true, and toxic masculinity, privilege and oppression, politics, God, and the kind of emotions that can only be expressed through copious amounts of metaphors.

Mary Williamson came late to sharing spoken word creations although she credits her love of the Stories of Things to her father and the deeply abiding sense that she had a voice she needed to use.
A reflective, and highly visual poet and writer, Mary debuted on the open mic in a Mother Tongue event at The Seven Sisters Festival at the beginning of the pandemic in Australia. She has continued sharing at a mixture of online and in person events including Mother Tongue - Women Speak, Ballarat Spoken Word, Wordcraft, Girls on Key, Cherry Poets, Perc.U.lations, Words Aloud and Your Place (Aotearoa), painting with words and emotion on both the page and the stage.
She sees poetry as her active recovery from life, exploring the human condition through a multi-mind lens with compassion and curiosity.
