Falcon
Backstories is a multi-sited storytelling festival located in the suburbs of Perth and beyond. Spend a lazy afternoon with friends and family in the comfort of your neighbour’s backyard and enjoy hearing from two trained storytellers. Bring a picnic, something to sit on, and put your mingling hat on, it’s going to be a rippa arvo.
Our Falcon location features storytellers Carolina Allen, Alana Grant and Kosta Lucas. Facilitated by Ruby Spinning.
WHAT TO BRING
Bring your own snacks, drinks, or even a picnic dinner. If you’d like to be comfortable, bring a picnic blanket or fold-out chairs.

Collapse BioCarolina Allen migrated to Broome from the Philippines in the 1980s after marrying an Australia pearl diver. She was one of a handful of Asian people in Broome at the time, and the first Asian person to be employed by Charlie Carters supermarket. Carolina's story speaks of the challenges of overcoming the isolation, discrimination and language barriers that many migrants face.
