COLLABORATIONS
The ASRC has collaborated with artists and makers, to bring you a series of unique, limited-edition merchandise, perfect for the festive giving season.
We are honoured to share with you collaborations with Brisbane-based Hazara artist Razia Ghazal, to previous years’ favourites Olana Janfa and Beci Orpin – these artist-designed collections make for a unique gift, with social impact.
In addition to collaborations with local creatives, the ASRC is proud to support artists with lived experience of seeking asylum in Australia.
Razia Ghazal
Brisbane-based artist Razia Ghazal draws on her Hazara heritage to create expressive works, loaded with symbolism. The Razia Ghazal x ASRC collection features an evocative self portrait, conveying nostalgia as well as hope.
Beci Orpin
Beloved Melbourne artist and illustrator Beci Orpin has created this very special collection in solidarity with refugees. The Beci Orpin x ASRC collection features vibrant, custom illustrations that never fail to make a statement.
Olana Janfa
Ethiopian-born Melbourne artist Olana Janfa began painting as a way to reconnect with his culture and create a sense of home. The Olana Janfa x ASRC collection features his artwork ‘Journey to Freedom’, which represents the refugee journey.
Second Stitch
A social enterprise based in Coburg, Melbourne, Second Stitch empowers refugees and women who are seeking asylum through textiles. The Second Stitch x ASRC collection features designs by Olana Janfa, cut, sewn and finished by Second Stitch seamstresses.
