Proceeds from this event will fund a creative and wellbeing program that supports families from Gaza living in Sydney. The program will be run at the Community Refugee Welcome Centre supported by not-for profit The Third Space. Activities focusing on art and wellbeing will be co-designed and run by Palestinians from Gaza.

If you are unable to attend but would like to support families from Gaza, you can make a donation by inserting an amount in the box where it says Support Sumud.
