STORIES FROM AFGHANISTAN AT SMITHS

3-5pm Saturday 3 February
Smith’s Alternative, Canberra

Join us for an afternoon of stories, poetry and music, to deepen our understanding of life in Afghanistan, and raise funds to help two families get through winter. These families have recently had applications to come to Australia as refugees refused. As well as being unable to work under the Taliban (particularly the women), they have recently endured earthquakes and damage to their houses

The program will include:

· Poetry from Hangama Obaidullah
· Music from Massoud Taghimolagh
· Naqqali performance by Parastoo Seif
· Stories and poems from life, live from Afghanistan
· More to be announced.

Tickets: $20 (additional donations welcome)

 

NOTE: Please always confirm full details with event hosts for non MARION events when arranging tickets as programs may change at short notice.
