"…then the world got loud."

That's your challenge, finish it however you want.

This year's Opening Night Gala brings together some of the sharpest and most surprising voices to complete that sentence, however they need to: through comedy, poetry, confession or sheer literary chaos.

It's a night of noise, joy, truth, and release.

In a loud world, every voice finds its own volume.

Speakers:
- Sami Shah (host)
- Sara Haddad
- Hasib Hourani
- Ratih Kumala
- Cheng Lei
- Sashi Perera
- Dr Samah Sabawi
- Grace Yee

Part of OzAsia Festival's Weekend of Words free program, curated by Sami Shah.
