Come along and hear the award-winning Kirsten Han talk about stories as a form of citizenship. Han’s advocacy and activism highlights how personal stories and writing can lead to social reform. At the Art Gallery of WA, she will inspire others to use their words to change and reframe pressing societal issues.

Kirsten Han is an independent journalist of international repute. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, The Washington Post, Foreign Policy and Rest of World. Her  first book, The Singapore I Recognise: Essays on home, community and hope, was published in September 2023.  Through her website, We the Citizens, Han has actively campaigned against the death penalty for drug offences, reports on issues not covered by mainstream and encourages citizens to commit to a better society.

Join us to discover how storytelling can amplify advocacy, empower voices, and fuel change.
