The Disappearing

‘Only takes minutes for history to be bulldozed plenty of those minutes have been found in this city’ ~ from ‘Potts Point Redevelopment’ by Sarah Attfield, commissioned poet

Our friends at The Red Room Company have enlisted 300 established and emerging poets to map Australia’s disappearing hisories as part of their awesome Disappearing project. Using cool geo-location technology to create Australia’s largest poetic travel guide, poets explore place through the language of loss, land, culture and memory.

Get involved

You’re invited to take a poetic tour of Australia, explore neighbourhoods through new eyes, listen to hidden stories and publish your poems to the Disappearing map alongside Australia’s most celebrated poets at www.disappearing.com.au
