One Day in Cabramatta

Share your stories about Cabramatta…

One Day in Cabramatta is a community storytelling project running created in partnership with SBS and running
alongside the SBS Series ‘Once Upon a Time in Cabramatta’, which is the untold story of how the Vietnamese community overcame adversity and found their place in modern Australia.

To collect stories and create a sense of sharing and exchange the One Day in Cabramatta Mobile Story Exchange Cart will be a travelling hub of storytelling activity, inviting people to enjoy a cup of chilled chrysanthemum tea in exchange for sharing their thoughts on a story card. These cards will then be compiled into a legacy book about the project, which will be presented back to the Cabramatta community.

Look out for the One Day Mobile Story Exchange Cart which will be situated in Freedom Plaza in Cabramatta each afternoon from 3pm* from 16-25 January, and at the Lunar Festival from 14 – 15 January.

ICE & SBS partnered with local Western Sydney arts collectives Popperbox and The Lot to curate the project, and engaged their long-time friend and local artist and filmmaker, Maria Tran, to be the One Day Cart Mobile Story Exchange Ambassador and facilitate storytelling.

* Stay tuned to the ICE blog, Facebook and Twitter to find out more about the One Day Mobile Story Exchange Cart’s whereabouts.

Once Upon A Time In Cabramatta airs on Sunday night’s at 8.30pm on SBS One on 15 &22nd January 2012. View the trailer.
