Cities Without Houses Sydney Women’s History Month with Arts-Matter

In honour of Women’s History Month, Cities Without Houses Sydney and Arts-Matter joined forces to bring together a conversation between a trio of leading women who use their artistic platforms to advocate for social issues. Barb Moore, the CEO of the Biennale of Sydney, moderated the talk between Iranian-born artist Nasim Nasr, queer artist Kim Leutwyler, and Western Sydney-based artist Serwah Attafuah. Following the talk, the artists led a ‘protest poster making’ workshop.
