From the landscapes of Africa to the urban scapes of Australia, Walking In My Shoes is a play about the lived realities of African Australians written and performed by young people from Western Sydney.
A new and powerful work about the journeys of hardship and survival of young people and their families where tragedy and exile are interwoven with stories of love and hope.
Young people share their stories of culture, resilience and survival.
