Tuesday Atzinger – Wise Words

Art, Disability, Midsumma, Society & Culture, Uncategorized

Rachel and Jacinta sit down with poet Tuesday Atzinger ahead of the Wise Words event in February. We discuss Tuesday’s writing and performance about themes of Afro-blackness, disability and queerness.

Tuesday Atzinger is a poet and emerging writer. Their work explores and celebrates Afro-blackness, queerness, disability and feminism. They peddle in discomfort and their primary goal is to fling words together to make you squirm. They have performed spoken word with Quippings for the Melbourne Writers Festival and were a part of ACNH Fringe at Melbourne Fringe 2020.
