November 2022
Between 24 – 27 November 2022, during the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, the UNSEEN Arts Hub will be activated at Centenary Square in Parramatta. This activation introduces Aunty Jacqui who will be holding Trauma Informed Yoga sessions followed by a collaborative weaving project, “Weaving Stories”. Women from Bonnie Support Services who identify as culturally and linguistically diverse have been embroidering pillows, to reflect their stories of what home means to them. Sera, who just completed her studies with Art Gilding Pty Ltd as a Master Gilder with the support of Blur Projects, Every Voice and YWCA will be Artist in Residence at the UNSEEN Arts Hub in Parramatta showcasing her creative skills. Fiona’s incredible installation “Walk a mile in my shoes”, enables women to share their stories through the shoes they wear. Each pair of shoes in the installation is accompanied by a tag which has the personal handwritten story of the owner on it. Jai will be making her podcast ‘Thankfulness’ on her chrome couch, Aunty Peta’s amazing paintings will be installed in the gallery window of the Tiny House. In the evening, hosted by Bonnie Support Services, there are events led by women with lived experience of housing insecurity and homelessness who represent the diversity of women who find themselves unexpectedly homeless. On the Sunday is a market held by the women. This activation is supported by the City of Parramatta, Bonnie Support Services, Museum of Understanding Through Tolerance and Inclusion, Homelessness NSW and Western Sydney University. Please contact us if you wish to volunteer on site during this activation.
