Description

Western Sydney is full of stories expressing the richness and diversity of our collective humanity. Some of those stories are traumatic and painful, others are full of joy, relief, and new beginnings. Ours is a dynamic place made up of intersecting yet distinct communities, each bringing with it a rich mosaic of history and complexity. Western Sydney is one of the world’s most multi-cultural regions. In The stories of and from this place is, in many ways, the story of a contemporary, and future, Australia.
