Koraly Dimitriadis - That's What They Do

To celebrate International Women's Day - Join Koraly Dimitriadis for a performance from her latest, and other poetry collections

Join bestselling Cypriot-Australian poet Koraly Dimitriadis for a performance of her poetry, focusing on her recently released poetry collection, That's What They Do.

Known for her fearlessness as a feminist voice for the southern-European diaspora, Koraly Dimitriadis is a Cypriot-Australian writer, performer and poet who creates film and theatre with her poetry. Creating art from the standpoint of the daughter of working-class migrants from postcolonial Cyprus, Koraly’s practice explores political and feminist subjects such as single parenting, divorce, cultural/religious repression, chronic illness, violence against women and identity, with raw vulnerability, to shift narratives suppressing the marginalised.

She is the author of the poetry books Love and Fk Poems (also translated into Greek) and Just Give Me The Pills. Her short story collection The Mother Must Die was published in 2024. Her poetry film, Yiayia mou (my grandmother), was a finalist for the Multicultural Film Festival. In 2019 she was the recipient of the UNESCO City of Literature residency in Krakow for her debut fiction manuscript. Koraly's opinion articles and essays have been published widely across Australia with international publications in The Washington Post, The Guardian and Aljazeera. www.koralydimitriadis.com

That's What They Do is available at Brunswick Bound bookshop or for purchase at the event.
