Weekly Writing Space for Men from Migrant and Refugee Backgrounds
When: Tuesday evening, 9:15pm – 11:00pm
Cost: Free
Location: Stanley Avenue Studio
Enquiries: Please Email: s.kasynathan@gmail.com
Each Tuesday evening, The Open Exchange offers a dedicated writing space for men who identify as coming from a migrant or refugee background. This weekly gathering is a quiet and reflective opportunity to explore the written word—whether through journaling, storytelling, poetry, or letters—within a culturally safe and supportive environment.
Led by regular contributor to Guardian Australia and refugee rights advocate, Shankar Kasynathan, the space invites men to pause from daily demands and reconnect with their inner voice through writing. Each session begins with a short guided reflection, followed by time to write individually and the option to share with the group or simply listen.
In a world that often renders men from migrant and refugee communities invisible, this space offers connection, creative expression, and mutual care. Whether you're working through a personal story, navigating change, or simply seeking a quiet moment to write, if you are a man who identifies as a member of this community, you are welcome.
About the Facilitator
Shankar Kasynathan is the founder of The Open Exchange, an initiative addressing social isolation and economic exclusion among men from refugee communities. With a background in social work and community advocacy, Shankar brings lived experience and decades of frontline engagement to this space. His practice is grounded in dignity, cultural humility, and the belief that everyone has a story worth telling.
