The African Caribbean diaspora is connected through space and time in many different ways – through our past, our present and our futures. We keep these connections with us through our stories, be they the fictional antics of characters like Anansi, or real life stories of our people through history, our struggles and triumphs shared between us through the ages.

We are a growing network of creatives based in Sydney who seek to platform fellow storytellers from the diaspora. Follow us on social media for news of events and opportunities, or contact us if you’d like to get involved.
