These visual poems were created by Faculty of Arts students in the "Encounters with Writing" subject in late 2017, as a group project with Multicultural Arts Victoria.

The theme for Diversity Week 2018 is Proud to Belong. Find out more about the exciting program of keynote speakers, workshops and social events on the Faculty of Arts Diversity Week website.
