Porch Portrait Project
Armidale Sanctuary has had the privilege of being one of the sponsors for the Porch Portraits project that was done for Refugee week.
The project was conducted by Simon Scott, with the help of Waleed Alali, one of the Ezidi’s in our community with a talent for photography. You can view the photos in an online gallery, with the link below. For some of the family photos, you can see their words of “welcome” when you click on the “I” (info) button in the upper right hand part of the screen.
Also below are links to radio interviews by Tadgh McMahon of SSI, who did research on the Ezidi community in Australia, and Waleed Alali (note correct spelling), the member of the Ezidi community in Armidale who helped Simon Scott with the photography.
