Join ASRC at Seeking Asylum: Our Stories–In Residence in celebration of the book, the wonderful contributors and be part of something really special.
Held during World Refugee Week, you’ll have the opportunity to meet and celebrate the book contributors and hear them share their stories.The spotlight will be solely on the contributors, including the much-loved Aheda who most of you will know as part of the ASRC Catering team. Aheda is a Chef, Palestininan cuisine traditionalist and a refugee. Aheda has been seeking asylum in Australia since 2018 and has dreams of one day opening a food truck to share her love of traditional Palestenian food and culture.
Aheda, among the additional 20+ book contributors will be at the event and hope you can join in the festivities.
Proceeds from ticket sales cover the costs involved in putting this important event together and ensuring we acknowledge the contributors in a meaningful and dignified way.
As part of your ticket, you will also receive a copy of the book Seeking Asylum: Our Stories, which you can collect and have signed by the book contributors at the event. The book is an important step in amplifying refugee voices and helping to create a more welcoming and compassionate Australia for refugees and people seeking asylum.
