Come for the stories. Stay for the connection.
Voices of Women works with First Nations advisors in all Country’s where we make a creative space. We proudly encourage all cultures to contribute to these creative projects.
We acknowledge the Gadigal and Wangal people of the Eora nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we produce and share stories. We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Voices of Women is an award-winning creative storytelling, writing, community workshop, performance and film program for women, and by women. It was created to encourage diverse, multicultural and First Nations women to work together, and with writers, actors and musicians to celebrate and share their stories. We collaborate with women from across all walks of life, across Australia and from cultures across world. Walking together, we learn from each other, challenging prejudice and stereotypes, and find a positive future together.
Since 2018, we have worked with nearly 300 women in workshops and creative circles, across metropolitan and regional NSW and internationally, we have read 1,200 stories, presented 180 stories to audiences through theatre, film and live performance, and employed 80 professional artists.
Together we have produced award-winning films and theatre shows, live readings and podcasts, and co-produce the annual Voices of Women International Short Film and Script Festival. Community voices and collaboration remain at the heart of every project.
Women who may never have considered themselves writers or artists discover they have a voice and a story worth telling. Participants report increased confidence, a stronger sense of belonging, deeper cross-cultural understanding and renewed creative ambition. They leave not only with new creative and personal skills, but with stronger social connections, greater self-belief and the knowledge that their experiences matter and can inspire understanding, empathy and positive social change.
