Creative workshop for the Arabic-speaking community
Explore storytelling through photography, writing, sound and film.
StoryCraft is a free creative program for people from Palestinian and other Arabic-speaking backgrounds who want to share their stories and ideas through the arts.
Participants don’t need any previous experience in art, photography, writing, or film. The Sydney-based workshops are in Arabic and English from November 2025 to February 2026. Melbourne-based workshops will start in 2026.
Note: Workshop registrations have closed. Workshops are now full but contact us if you’d like to join future programs!
