Spending more time with my daughter is by far the best part of school holidays. We spent the morning creating art inspired by Palestinian scholar and writer Samiha Olwan. She shared the impact of the devastation of her homeland in Gaza but also the desire to celebrate the beauty she remembers.

Come and join us for ACEL WA book club as we start to ease ourselves back into work mode on January 23rd. Enjoy your well deserved summer break everyone ✨
