Nasir Sobhani, The Streets Barber
Nasir Sobhani is an Iranian barber who moved to Australia from Canada in 2012. In his twenties, Nasir struggled with addiction. He felt lost, and the uncertainty about his future was debilitating. Nasir loved cutting hair, however, when his family suggested he do this as a career he was offended. Being a barber seemed inadequate.
After going to rehab, Nasir turned his life around and moved to Australia for a fresh start. He spent hours standing outside barbershops and watching videos online to learn the craft.

From Penicillin to Penny Cillin
MELBOURNE, Australia – Liam* sits alone in front of a row of mirrors with “Broadway Bitches” sprawled in red lipstick across the top. Surrounded by colourful wigs and dresses that glisten in the afternoon sun, Liam is an enigma in black ripped jeans, leather boots and a torn Metallica singlet. He is 5’9” and weighs just 50kg. His dirty blonde hair has been pinned under a beige wig cap, but rebellious tufts poke out. He peers sheepishly at me in the mirror, as a bartender drops off his second vod
Blackrock by EbbFlow Theatre Co
Tragedy pervades the working-class suburb of Blackrock in a play that highlights centuries of misogyny still discernible today. Nick Enright’s writing, based on a true story, provides a galvanising look at Australian culture, in the way only live theatre can.
Blackrock tells the story of a small coastal town ripped apart after the violent rape and murder of a 15-year-old girl named Tracey. It explores harmful gender stereotypes and the generational sexism that is passed down from parents to
