It’s a privilege to call two different worlds home...” • Tammy Bux shares the intricate story behind her family's history and their guiding influences throughout her life.

“GROWING UP, I was in total denial I was gay because I was really conflicted about my right to be happy. I felt if other people treated me terribly, that was valid, or I had to prove myself otherwise, deserving of it.” - Jordan Fletcher • Every week, we are sharing stories from our Bright Lights, No City project about growing up LGBTQIA+ in country WA. Over a number of weeks, Jordan worked alongside our Oral Storytelling Trainer Sisonke Msimang to craft and perfect his story. You can listen to Jordan's story on our website (also available as a transcript).
A picture says a thousand words, but what is the story behind this moment? • Photographer Jay Weinstein will be sharing stories at the Centre for Stories next Friday 20 July from 6.30pm. Tickets are only $15 and available from our website. We hope to see you there!
Last month, Louise Allan and Amanda Curtin kicked off our new series, Literary Mixers, and we recorded it! Louise reads an excerpt from her book with a special vocal feature! The recording is available from our website, enjoy! • Psst! Our next Literary Mixers session, with Laurie Steed and Susan Midalia is this Thursday! We have a couple of tickets available - but hurry - this event sold out last month!
