• Collective banner making in Arabic and palawa kani.
• Soof embroidery pop up:
  • BYO garment
  • Suitable garments include medium to heavy weight t-shirts, shirts, jackets, hoodies, jumpers, jeans, most pants (if you’re unsure bring some options or message us in advance)
  • Make sure your garments are clean and not crinkled.
  • Consider bringing something unloved or with a stain or hole to give it a new life.

Sharing Histories series

Sharing Histories is a collaboration between TPAN and the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre.

It consists of a series of events exploring the shared history and struggles between Lutruwita and Palestine. In the next few months we will be holding more events as part of this. Join us as we share history, language, food and art.

This is the second event of this series.
