Western Terrace: Gathering Before The Light

Come together with us for an evening of creativity, connection, and reflection with An.Other Collective. Ramadan is often seen as a month centred around food and restriction. But for Muslims all around the world, it’s also a time dedicated to deepening faith and community bonds. 

Join us as we prepare our hearts for Ramadan in a Gathering Before the Light. Set your intentions for the month ahead and create your own personalised prayer mat, or a piece of textile with the intention of reflection, mindfulness, or grounding—a marker of connection and focus in your personal practice. As we gather, we’ll share a wholesome meal celebrating the vibrant and eclectic cultures that make up our community.

When: Wednesday 12 February, 6pm - 8pm 

Where: Level 3, Western Terrace

Registration: Spaces are limited with some seats and standing room. Registration is essential. As this is an outdoor venue, please dress accordingly. For access requirements please contact PHIVEtickets@cityofparramatta.nsw.gov.au  

An.Other Collective is a community of Muslim female makers, artists, and designers spanning from Sydney to Melbourne. The collective is an open platform that gathers and weaves the diverse perspectives of individuals and communities to dissolve colonial barriers and reductive misconceptions on matters associated with faith, politics, identity, art and culture. 

The Western Terrace is a series of creative gatherings, performances and workshops taking place underneath the golden hour, as the sun sets, facing West, thinking West. Imagining the Western Terrace as an extension of their own homes, gardens and balconies, the series features artists, authors, filmmakers, musicians and community sharing domestic ritual collectively.
