The Walls Have Stories

Step into the stories hidden in Perth’s built environment! Follow a free literary trail through the Perth Cultural Centre, where WA authors will perform a range of flash fiction and poetry that will bring history, architecture, and untold tales to life.

Visit the city in May to immmerse yourself in the vibrant stories that are etched into landmark buildings in Perth. ‘The Walls Have Stories’ allows you to explore the Perth Cultural Centre through a free literary trail, curated by Writing WA for the Australian Heritage Festival as part of our 2025 Stories in all Spaces project. Experience live performances of flash fiction and poetry, written in response to the city’s architecture and urban spaces. Each piece brings to life the often-overlooked narratives embedded in the walls, inviting you to see the city in a new light. Wander at your own pace, stopping at key locations to discover hidden tales and surprising connections between words and place. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this is an exciting chance to engage with the city’s rich cultural tapestry through the eyes of talented writers. Don’t miss out on this unique, creative exploration that highlights both the beauty and mystery of our built environment!
