Sweatshop Women Volume 2
Writer, Artist, Lawyer and Activist, Amani Haydar, launches "Sweatshop Women Volume 2"
Sweatshop: Western Sydney Literacy Movement has released a new publication which showcases the stories of culturally diverse women from Western Sydney. In the second volume of the urgent new series, over twenty writers share their stories of culture, sovereignty and diaspora.
Sweatshop Women is an exciting and contemporary collection of prose and poetry written by women from Indigenous, migrant and refugee backgrounds. In this second volume, Australia’s most urgent new voices return to reclaim their stories of culture, sovereignty and diaspora.
The book features short stories and poems by twenty-two Australian writers who come from Indigenous, African, Arab, Asian and Pasifika backgrounds. The book also features a foreword by acclaimed author, Ruby Hamad, and a portrait series of all twenty-two writers by the celebrated and award-winning visual artist, Amani Haydar.
The new anthology is part of an ongoing push by Sweatshop to bring more stories from culturally and linguistically diverse communities to the forefront of Australian literature. This has been made possible through the support of I.C.E., Campbelltown City Council, the Australia Council for the Arts, the Crown Resorts Foundation and the Packer Family Foundation. Sweatshop Women: Volume Two is out now and can be purchased directly from the Sweatshop website: www.sweatshop.ws
