    What it means to be a City of Literature - with Sue Hayes

    Exploring the unique literary scene on a tiny island at the edge of the world... In 2023, Nipaluna/Hobart became a UNESCO City of Literature, making it the second city in Australia after Melbourne to achieve this status. But what does it actually mean? And who does it benefit? Is it all just another marketing gimmick? Or does the award hold meaningful potential for genuine cultural exchange and creative opportunity? For our first ever episode, creative practitioner and City of Lit convenor, Sue Hayes, unpacks the cultural significance and international possibilities of the title, while telling Liz all about her new play, Wallpaper Bandit, inspired by the life and times of iconic Australian designer, Florence Broadhurst. Kicking off our Cities of Lit Book Picks is Liv from Fullers Bookshop, who recommends Department of the Vanishing by nipaluna/Hobart author, Johanna Bell, and No One Round Here Reads Tolstoy by Mark Hodkinson from Manchester, in the UK. And for our first Topical Chat, Liz and Kate Kruimink take a deeper dive into the whole City of Literature shebang. Find the complete show notes at the Remotely Lit website.
