Date6th February 2026Date KnownExactDescriptionI photographed Jenny Trinh, a local musician who performs as Wytchings, wandering Cabramatta on a scorching summer day. We sipped cane sugar juice and rested in the shade of her favourite spots. From the balcony outside her mum’s hairdresser, she watched the streets below. “I love the constant hum of life,” she said, “the fruit vendors yelling at us to buy their fruit, the chatter of aunties and uncles, the smell of Vietnamese food, it reminds me of home.” For Jenny, Cabramatta is embedded with celebratory shared stories of overcoming adversity, and growing up here has shaped her connection to community and culture.
Her music draws on the sounds and textures of the neighbourhood. “I record the streets, the voices, the fruit stalls, everything becomes part of the music,” she explained. “I have so much access to diversity living here, I love that we exist in this kaleidoscope together. It feels really special. I think that’s why I enjoy so many textures in my music.”
She also works with Curious Works in the heart of Fairfield, supporting underrepresented voices to share their stories through local arts programs. In both her art and her advocacy, Jenny embodies the dynamism of young, second-generation immigrants who carry their parents’ culture with pride while building rich, cross-cultural lives. She bridges worlds, showing what’s possible when heritage and self-determination come together, infusing our city with creativity, resilience, and an ever-increasing inclusive, multicultural future.
