Backstories – Kununurra (SOLD OUT)
Mar 19, 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Kununurra Community and School Library
Please note that due to level 2 public health measures and current event capacity limits for gatherings at private residences all Backstories festival events have been postponed. The event pages will be updated to reflect rescheduled dates once they have been organised. Current ticket holders will be contacted shortly with three options — to keep their ticket for the rescheduled date, to be refunded for the cost of their ticket, or to donate their ticket to the Centre for Stories. While this is disappointing, our priority is the safety of our storytellers, audiences and staff. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused, but we can’t wait to see you later in the year when we can bring stories home safely!
Backstories is a multi-sited storytelling festival located in the suburbs of Western Australia. Spend a lazy afternoon with friends and family in the comfort of your neighbour’s backyard to listen to two trained storytellers. Pack a picnic, bring something to sit on, and put your mingling hat on – it’s going to be a rippa arvo!
Storytellers and musicians to be announced soon!
Location to be announced soon!
Organised in partnership with Kimberley Jiyigas.
