KORALY DIMITRIADIS is a Cypriot-Australian writer, performer and bestselling poet who creates film and theatre with her poetry. Creating art from the standpoint of the daughter of working-class migrants from postcolonial Cyprus, Koraly’s practice explores political and feminist subjects such as single parenting, divorce, cultural/religious repression, chronic illness, violence against women and identity, with raw vulnerability, to shift narratives suppressing the marginalised. She is the author of the poetry books Love and Fk Poems (also translated into Greek), Just Give Me The Pills and She's Not Normal. Her latest poetry film, Yiayia mou (my grandmother), was a finalist for the Multicultural Film Festival and is currently streaming on SBS-on-demand. In 2019 she was the recipient of the UNESCO City of Literature residency in Krakow. Koraly's opinion articles and essays have been published widely across Australia with international publications in The Washington Post, The Guardian and Aljazeera. www.koralydimitriadis.com
