The Living Poetry Project

Original Score by Sophia Christopher

Produced by UNSW

Relationships: they can be so different for each of us. They come in many forms. They can be easy, messy, gritty, complex, challenging and joyous. This is the essence of being human.

Learning to navigate relationships more consciously and with greater awareness is a step towards empowering our inner self. Through small acts of relational intelligence, and leaning into compassion, empathy and kindness, it opens the door to creating a more connected world for each of us.

The Living Poetry Project grew from an idea of placing relationships at the heart of our art. We asked four students to delve into their lived experience, who took inspiration from their own story and relationships, to compose a written piece to share with you during SEXtember. These words are their living poetry.

From this seed, grew a collaborative love poem. A nod to each of our student poets. Writer and poet Natalia Rachel, has beautifully and collectively threaded each poem into a major video work to be explored by you. Greater than the sum of its parts, this is a true nod to relationships that are both Salty and Sweet.
