What is the difference between jealousy, envy and admiration? Are we more likely to envy those with talent or those with luck? Is everyone jealous and, if not, when does jealousy begin? This session looks at both the experience of jealousy and its practical side, considering ways in which we can process and negate the emotion or transform it into an advantage, using it in our work. About the Panellists: Thabani Tshuma is a multi-award-winning Zimbabwean writer and performance poet. His work can be found in publications such as Dichotomi magazine, Cordite Poetry Review, CUBBY ART, and ABC ArtWorks’ SLAMMED. Thabani is co-curator of Thin Red Lines and his debut collection, The Gospel of Unmade Creation, released in 2023 through Recent Work Press. Writing is the aperture through which he views the world and experiences self in relation to others. Robyn Dennison is a writer living in Narrm / Melbourne.
