Imaginative Recreation Project
|
|
|
|
Maybe you know a story that you’d like to tell OR you’ve always wondered about a person, place or event and would like to delve more deeply OR you would just like to explore the archives to see what stories you can discover.
|
We are keen to uncover rich and little-known aspects of the City of Sydney’s local Government area. We invite you to imagine voices from between the lines of the archives. We want to hear creative writing that brings the past to life in new ways.
|
|
Submit your work by midnight on December 17th with no entry fee. Click here for more information about the project and to submit your work!
