The racialised narrative surrounding Covid-19 has sparked a surge in racial abuse targeting People of Colour.Whether it's a new poll finding almost one third of Australians blame the Chinese community for the pandemic. Or a study by the Migrant Worker Justice Initiative revealing a quarter of Australia's international students faced racial abuse during the pandemic. Or an Asian Australian Alliance survey collecting more than 500 stories from People of Colour of coronavirus-related racial abuse within a few months.People of Colour are experiencing a surge of racially motivated attacks. That's why we're launching regular bystander intervention workshops to empower allies to effectively and safely intervene when they see racial abuse.These free three hour interactive online workshops will cover:The types of racial abuse People of Colour are facing in this momentThe positive impact of bystander interventionEvidence-based bystander intervention methodology to safely interrupt racial abuseAnd space to practically roleplay scenarios in a safe environmentParticipants will leave with the tools- strategies and confidence to safely support someone experiencing discrimination.These workshops are free and open to anyone (although we particularly encourage people who identify as allies to attend) so please share with your family- friends & networks. Special thanks to the City of Sydney whose generous support has made these workshops possible.

The Korean Cultural Centre (KCC) Australia is presenting a new photo exhibition Light Shadow: Koo Bohnchang as part of the Head On Photo Festival this year.Featuring 39 photography works- Light Shadow captures the moment of encounter between baekja (-white porcelain) and -dal hang-ari (moon jar) of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910)- a camera and an artist.South Korea's leading photographer- Koo Bohnchang embarked on a journey in search of Korean baekja scattered all over the world in different museums. For more than 30 years- he has been a pioneer and leader of modern Korean photography.Baekja was the defining nature of the craft during the Joseon Dynasty. Royal and noble families preferred pure white surfaces and humble shapes compared to extravagant patterns and decorations. In particular- dal hang-ari which is considered to best represent the essence of Joseon white porcelain- is regarded as one of the greatest embodiment of Korean beauty and spirit through its pure white hue and round formations.IMPORTANT NOTICE*There will be no opening event for the exhibition due to COVID-19. Be sure to check out the visitor's information related to COVID-19 before visiting the gallery at www.koreanculture.org.au-visitors-info.
