Led by artist and creator Aseel Tayah, Bukjeh at SAM will transport its audience on a journey through performances of music, dance, poetry and spoken-word depicting the stories of Bukjeh from the Shepparton community.
In Arabic, Bukjeh is the name for a small pack of belongings carried by travellers and refugees. These few objects paint an intimate portrait of their carrier, with each item holding memories and histories of places that were once home.
Join us on Saturday 18 June from 2pm, on the eve of Refugee Week, for this special opportunity to learn more about the people that live, work, and grow in Shepparton.
TIME: 2PM for a 2.30PM start to 4PM
