2025 Festival Highlight | Women and Creativity

Hear from an all-star line-up of women at the top of their fields as they explore creativity as a gift passed from mother to daughter—from the creation of life to the creation of art, community, and more. Appearing in one of our live recorded highlight conversations of #UWRF25, Indonesian multidisciplinary artist Agnes Christina , Australian author and producer Courtney Collins , British, Delhi-based artist Olivia Fraser , and Irish Book Award–winning writer Sinéad Gleeson talk with Jenny Valentish about what drives them and how their creativity nurtures each of them in a world where women are often responsible for more roles than they are recognised for. You can enjoy this latest highlight session, recorded live at our 2025 Festival, at ubudwritersfestival.com/media and on podcast platforms including Spotify and Simplecast.
