Join the Islamic Museum of Australia on a journey of discovery.
Discover Australia's rich Muslim history on a journey from Adelaide to Port Augusta, South Australia, guided by a local historian specialising in cameleer history.
We invite artists, content creators, musicians, fashion designers, and writers from across Australia to participate in this educational and creative journey.
Throughout the trip, you’ll be inspired to reflect on your experiences by creating a piece of work, which can range from paintings, poetry, and short stories, to vlogs, documentaries, garments, textiles, and original music.
Reflection pieces are a mandatory part of participation, allowing you to express your personal insights from the trip in any medium.
