by Matt Hrkac | Sep 20, 2025 | Events, Refugee Rights

The Geelong West Neighbourhood House and the Combined Refugee Action Group hosts an afternoon tea with accomplished artist and Kurdish refugee Mostafa (Moz) Azimitabar, who was visiting Geelong as part of the Archibald Prize exhibition. During which he talks about his art and the message he's aiming to convey.

His accomplishments include:

Archibald Prize finalist 2022, 2024 and 2025.

Sulman Prize finalist 2023 and 2024.

Fisher Ghost Prize finalist 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Shortlisted for the 2025 Mosman Art Prize.

While in detention, Moz learned to paint using a toothbrush and coffee. He continues to use this method to create his art works.

We offer event photography services for events big and small.

It's an election year! We were recently hired to shoot a series of team headshots for Greens candidates Emilie Flynn, for the seat of Geelong; and Jesse Holden, for the seat of Polwarth.

These images are to be used for flyers as well as for media.

With the Victorian State Election coming up coming up in November this year, we're making our services available to any community oriented candidate whose values align with our own. These services can include candidate headshots at a location in your electorate, photography and/or video coverage of campaign launches or filming of campaign related content. Get in contact to enquire further.

Note: we reserve the right to decline working with any candidate who we see is harmful or otherwise is antithesis to our values.
