Join MC and poet Andrew Cox in The Space, upstairs at Tuggeranong Arts Centre for an afternoon of cultural storytelling and community connection at Hot Pot Stories. Hear personal stories about the power of the people who shape our lives and enjoy a rich smorgasbord of short stories, shared in a spirit of openness, courtesy, and respect. This event is being held alongside the exhibition Anitu: old gods, beliefs, and superstitions by the artist IDioM. The exhibition delves into IDioM’s Filipino identity, culture, and community, transforming oral stories of the Philippines into tangible objects.Want to have your story heard?
