If you’re down to eat, chat and connect with fellow artists and foodies - consider yourself invited! 

Producer in Residence Leigh Lule is hosting the final rendition of our series, Radical Hospitality - Platforming for Community! Part III will take place on Wurundjeri and Bunurong Country (West Footscray) at Migrant Coffee Café on Fri 18 Nov, 6pm – 9pm.  

The night will begin with an Acknowledgment of Country by Leigh, followed by a Discussion panel ft. Candy Bowers (@thecandybowers), Mariam Koslay (@mariamkoslay), and Amarachi Okorom (@amarxchi_) as they unpack what it means to ‘platform’ for their respective communities. 

Catering will be provided by @migrantcoffee, alongside an open bar courtesy of our sponsors, Mountain Goat and Noisy Ritual.  

All ticket sales will be donated to AMES Australia branches in Werribee, St Albans and Footscray. AMES Australia provides language classes, employment services, community engagement and settlement support to migrants, refugees and asylum seekers across Country. (@ames_australia)
