Immerse yourself in literature this March for Le Mois de la Francophonie, a month-long celebration of French-speaking culture!
Join us for a captivating evening celebrating Francophonie with a special talk by Katia Astafieff, the new resident writer at Randell Cottage.
“For her special project during the residency, Katia plans to explore the story of Marianne North, an Englishwoman who travelled to Australia and New Zealand in 1880 on the advice of Charles Darwin, and painted remarkable illustrations of indigenous flora.”
This event offers a rare opportunity to hear about the author’s project.
