🎨 Art x Advocacy – An Afternoon of Art, Storytelling & Change📅 Sunday 21 September 2025
🕑 2:00pm – 5:00pm
đź“Ť Umbrella Contemporary Arts Studio, Townsville
Ticket includes complimentary food and beverages
Join us for an inspiring afternoon where art meets advocacy — celebrating local female artists and amplifying the voices of women with lived experience.
This ticketed event is a collaboration between The Women’s Society and Project:herSELF. All proceeds from the art auction will go directly to support women being released from prison in FNQ.
✨ Featuring Special Guest – Tahlia Isaac
Founder, change maker and storyteller. Tahlia is a mother of 2 young boys, and the founder and CEO of Project:herSELF. The organisation is focused on building up women who have had their lives impacted through incarceration and changing the narrative about women who go to prison.
Tahlia has intersectional lived experiences leading to involvement in the criminal legal system. She has a post graduate degree in criminology and criminal justice and an under graduate degree in business. Her professional expertise is in reintegration post release, focusing on the specific needs of women. She is a champion for social inclusion and holds the view that women are the thread that holds our community together; we should remember that without women, families and communities fall apart.
✨ About Project:herSELF
Project:herSELF is driven by the belief that every woman deserves the tools, resources, and support to reclaim her life on her own terms after prison. We’re here to break down the walls of shame and stigma that too often trap women in cycles of marginalisation. This Project is about more than just freedom from prison, it’s about freedom to live, to thrive, and to be unapologetically part of a community that sees them for their full potential, not their past.
🎨 Art Auction: Featuring work donated by local female artists, with all proceeds supporting Project:herSELF
