Being a creative can be a lonely thing. I am proud to have collaborated with and supported by the below organisations and peeps. They have each worked with me in different ways and watched my grow wackier and wackier in my ambitions and my creative practices.
Feel free to connect with them as well!
-
Outloud Arts is based in Bankstown Arts Centre. They help young people from WS achieve all of their creative dreams.
Outloud - specifically Nicole Issa, Finn O’Branagain and Mel Carolan - supported me so much as an emerging artist to get more confident in my work and put myself out there.
-
We Are Studios is an accessible visual arts organisation. They support people with disabilities of all kinds to access arts and get more opportunities that would normally be inaccessible.
They provided me a safe physical space to work on my visual arts practices as well as mentorship.
-
UTP is a curational organisation based in the Bankstown Arts Centre. They invest in artists to support them to flourish. They do this through different projects, including the UTP Rising program and the Manager in the arts program, both of which I have been part of.
-
Powerhouse Youth Theatre is based in Fairfield. They make theatre and performance arts more accessible to people from diverse cultural backgrounds based in WS. I have had the pleasure of performing poetry at their slams and attending many local theatre events.
-
Sweatshop WS is a literary publishing organisation that is based in Fairfield. They aim to uplift people from diverse cultural backgrounds, based in WS, to get their written works out there.
I had two of my poems published in their Australian Muslim Anthology - Ritual. I am also part of the monthly writing group where we share our work and get honest and constructive feedback.
