Centre for Stories host story sharing night this IDAHOBIT Day


The Centre for Stories will be hosting a celebration of Bright Lights No City this Thursday night. The project documents stories from LGBTQIA+ youth across regional WA.

The storytellers will share their tales at the Centre’s Northbridge location on May 17th to mark International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia.

‘Sometimes I think I’m not me in Kalgoorlie; when the Welcome to Kalgoorlie sign
blinks past I collapse in on myself, like a butterfly turning into a cocoon. Shrinking.’

The stories were formed under the guidance of Oral Storytelling Trainer, Sisonke Msimang, and Writing Expert, Susan Midalia.

Bright Lights No City will launch at the Centre for Stories this Thursday May 17th from 6:30pm. Tickets and more information available from centreforstories.com
