Louise Tran is a queer, neurodivergent 22-year-old artist of Vietnamese descent. She writes to lay deep emotions bare with an unflinching gaze, unravelling themes close to her heart such as grief, heartbreak and generational trauma. Louise is a two-times winner of Westside Poetry Slam. When she's not writing, Louise can be found foraging for record vinyls, singing, or buying new books before finishing the ones on her shelf.
– See the APS Sydney Finalists compete for the crown of APS ‘26 Sydney Final Champion at the 2026 Sydney APS Final on 9 October at Impact Story Lab.
UPDATE: The 2026 Sydney APS Final is now sold out! There are still tickets available for the NSW APS State Final and APS National Final.
