An.Other Collective

An.Other Collective is a community of creative Muslim women based in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia. Their diverse team includes brand designers, product designers, architects, artists, illustrators, filmmakers, photographers, creative directors, fashion designers, copywriters, design researchers, and more.

This space allows them to reclaim creativity in their lives while nurturing an authentic sense of community, both within their circle and among the broader community. Their work focuses on the intersection of faith, culture, and identity through dialogue, workshops, and art. Over the past year, An.Other Collective has experienced significant growth with new creatives joining the team, sold-out events, and, most importantly, the cultivation of a culture of sisterhood within the team. From cooking classes to zine-making workshops, book launches to henna nights, they’ve built a beautiful and vibrant community.
