Backstories 2021

Saadia Ahmed

Like many people in 2020, Saadia experienced the sudden grief of not knowing when she would next be reunited with her family.

Backstories is a multi-sited storytelling festival located in backyards across Perth and regional Western Australia. In 2021, Backstories featured locations in Margaret River, South Fremantle, Midland, Quinns Rocks and more.

Backstories 2021 was made possible with funding from Lotterywest, Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries and the Centre for Stories Founders Circle.

This story was collected at our Caversham backyard. It features Saadia Ahmed who, like many people in 2020, experienced the sudden grief of not knowing when she would next be reunited with her family.
