A concert shaped by stories of women and place
In this special curated performance, Meg Washington weaves her songs with stories and works that resonate with the women’s histories of the World Heritage‑listed Cascades Female Factory.
Set within the evocative surrounds of this historic site, Meg offers a rare and contemplative concert honouring women’s experiences of resilience, labour, separation and community.
Drawing from her catalogue, she curates a luminous set interlaced with songs and reflections chosen for their connection to the stories held in this place, once a site of confinement for convict women and girls, and now a space dedicated to amplifying their voices.
The Cascades Female Factory shares the histories of convict women and girls in Van Diemen’s Land/Tasmania, their work, regulation and survival, and today stands as a World Heritage‑listed place of remembrance and learning. We invite audiences to approach this performance with care and respect for the stories embedded in the site.
