Our Stories Our Flats 

 I've lived in Carlton, in the Carlton Public housing estates for 30-plus years. So I know it like the back of my hand and I've come across very interesting people and I thought it would be important for me to, um, leave a document behind.

Ayan Shirwa 

 

This episode is all about community—specifically,  the importance of community in public housing. 

Ayan Shirwa from 3CR is a longtime resident of the Carlton Public Housing and, in response to the Victorian government's decision to demolish the flats in 2023, decided to record the stories of residents for future generations.  

This is the first episode of Our Stories, Our Flats, but you can listen to the full series on 3CR. 

 

Produced and written by Ayan Shirwa
