This is an event for men and women. We suggest CAR POOLING as parking is very restricted in the vicinity of the Museum. Stay for lunch at the cafeteria after the tour.

Participants will explore the exhibition “1.6 Billion Ways To Be Muslim”, an exhibition which started as a photographic narrative on social media and has since become a global initiative celebrating the diversity of modern day Muslims. In addition, a second exhibition, “Our grandmothers”, celebrates the love, spirit, strength and wisdom embodied by grandmothers in Islam. This exhibition is part of the Multicultural Museums Victoria inaugural joint project celebrating the central role of grandmothers in the Chinese, Italian, Greek, Muslim and Jewish communities.

After the tour you may choose to stay for lunch at the cafeteria and meet up with old friends or meet new ones. Ticket price includes the cost of the tour only and lunch is extra. These encounters are interesting and rewarding and an important part of transforming relations between people of different faiths. We look forward to seeing you there.

To register your interest and participate, please purchase tickets early. For more information contact Ginette Everest (03) 9287 5590 or womenconference@jcma.org.au. rence@jcma.org.au.
