We base our work from the land of the Gadigal & Wangal peoples of the Eora nation. Sovereignty never ceded. We wish to pay respects to elders past and present, and all First Nations storytellers. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

Unspoken Words Storytelling is supported by Inner West Council.

The HOPE Butterfly Installation is a community based interactive art project. Community members of all ages are invited to create a butterfly for the HOPE Butterfly installation. Each butterfly carries a wish, a wish for all wild places. As the butterflies swarm from location to location they carry HOPE, BEAUTY & TRUTH for the wilderness. . See you there!

Like any other time of year, Pride Month can be difficult for the LGBTQIA+ community for various reasons. . If you or someone you know needs a bit of extra support, there are networks of informed & equipped people. In NSW there is @twenty10glcs, the Gender Centre and @aconnsw. Nationally, there is Q Life, @headspace_aus and other services listed in the images. . Queer peer counselling services date back to the 1970s in Sydney with CAMP (Campaign Against Moral Persecution)'s Phone-a-Friend service, through to the Gay & Lesbian Counselling Service in the 80s to today's QLife. . The first image is of a Gay & Lesbian Counselling Service worker in the 1980s, courtesy of Peter Trebilco.
