Slama acknowledges that our slam takes place in Naarm, on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded, no treaty was signed and it always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
Slama is a space where we celebrate intersectional community and encourage Artists to bring their absolute best work to the stage.
On November 22nd we celebrate and feature our 2023 Slamalamadingdong Poetry Slam Champion LANE MILBURN
WHO IS LANE?
Champion of participation awards, Lane Milburn is an artist, writer, part-time hobby hopper, and full-time multidisciplinarian. In numbers, Lane is 5'6" tall, 100% unpredictable, is the last to leave the room, and came 1st in the 2023 Slamalamadingdong Grand Slam. In words, he wields a whiplash writing style, rejecting palatable narrative in favor of larrikin-like storytelling, blurring lines between passenger and driver in themes of home, family, and the self; whoever that might be. He hopes you might tell him, but he spent too long in the closet to be put in any box.
