Veronica Franco vs Instagram is a duel between Veronica Franco, the 16th century Italian poet, courtesan, feminist, and philanthropist and the algorithm in search of the corporeal.

Emerging from a commission presented at Buxton Contemporary, Melbourne for the exhibition THIS IS A POEM, Veronica vs Instagram has been developed in conversation with a performative nut-cluster of actors who individually and collectively speak and sing a script adapted from Hannie Rayson's 1990 book Hotel Sorrento, in prose and protest.

Supported by a Yarra City Arts Small Project Grant and Yarra Annual Grant.
