Get Out of Here!

Starring Kate Harris & Tessa Hulls

SATURDAY, OCT 19 @ 10AM $25
Memorial Park Library, Festival Hub, 2nd Floor

As Tessa Hulls says, “When in doubt, just hop on your bike.” Now head over to Memorial Park Library to see her in conversation with Wordfest favourite Kate Harris. Nobody knows off-grid like these two, and their adventures have taken them across the world, from Antarctica (where Hulls worked as a cook before writing her new graphic memoir Feeding Ghosts) to Azerbaijan (where Harris’s visa nearly expired—read all about it in Lands of Lost Borders) and countless other far-flung locales. Listening to Harris and Hulls, you’ll feel like you got away from it all—without having to give up your comfy bed.
