Delivered with RMIT University, Poetic Portraits is an intergenerational creative project that showcases the creative talent and diverse life experiences of different generations in Monash.

20 Monash residents aged 18-35 and 60+ each wrote 2 poetic pieces and had their portrait taken. The finished poems and portraits were published in a beautifully crafted book and exhibited around Monash during the 2025 Monash Seniors Festival.
