Sonic City: stories and sounds of Sydney
Imaginative Recreation
The Imaginative Recreation Project aims to collect, curate and share little-known stories from Sydney’s past and to build awareness about the art of crafting stories from archival material.
In 2023, we offered writing workshops and masterclasses designed to inspire and support new, emerging and experienced writers to invent stories drawn from the archives.
In 2024, we produced audio stories selected from this callout.
