One Million Stories - Refugee Week art project

City of Onkaparinga is inviting those who came to call Australia home through experiences of war, displacement, or interment to tell their story through art. Each story is unique. Each one is powerful. And together, they shape Australia we all call home today.

Choose to tell your story or that of your family, through art. 

Create your art at home, in your community groups or limited places will be available for classes in May at Reynella Neighbourhood Centre.

To express interest in sharing your story, or attending classes, contact Paquita Spurr on 0403 659 996 or email Paquita.Spurr@onkaparinga.sa.gov.au
