Melbourne’s home for writing and big ideas, the Wheeler Centre, is set to host a festival of ideas featuring a stellar line-up of 60 locally and globally renowned writers, musicians, thinkers and performers.
Kicking off in October, the ten-day program will be made up of 24 events, including intimate conversations, podcast recordings and panel discussions at the Wheeler Centre and other venues around the CBD.
