^{Arts Impact Society sits at the intersection of art and political action, using creative practice as a tool of resistance, documentation, and solidarity.}

    We create across multiple forms, from public installations and documentary to print, digital, and community events, centring lived experience, amplifying voices too often erased, and resisting the forces of colonialism that continue to threaten communities worldwide.

Who we are


We acknowledge the the original custodians of this stolen land we live and work on, and pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. We are based on the land of the Dharug and Gundungurra peoples, Blue Mountains, Australia. 


We are entirely volunteer-run. You can help us make our projects possible by supporting us in the following ways.

   Arts Impact Society, 2025

who we are  
                  Founded in 2025, Arts Impact Society was born from a refusal to remain silent. As parents and artists, Aprille and Robert are committed to using their skills to challenge the narratives that enable injustice and to stand in solidarity with those resisting oppression, locally and globally.


Aprille Asfoura | Co-founder & Director,
Strategy, Project Development & Partnerships

Aprille is a Palestinian-Australian documentary filmmaker and impact producer who has spent over fifteen years working across the arts and screen industries, including at Screen Australia and through the Documentary Australia Impact Producer Program. 

She co-founded Arts Impact Society to create work that resists colonial erasure. At AIS, Aprille develops strategic partnerships, leads communications, and initiates projects that harness storytelling as a tool for political mobilisation. Her work centers Palestinian voices and builds the cross-cultural solidarity necessary to challenge colonial systems and shift policy.



Robert Werner | Co-Founder & Director,
Creative Direction, Project Dev & Design

Robert Werner is a Berlin-born creative director and media artist with over fifteen years of experience designing and art directing multimedia and cultural projects, leading creative teams across advertising, cultural production, and political activism. 

His work has been shaped by his family's Polish migration story and collaborations with groups like Led By Donkeys and The Syria Project. He co-founded Arts Impact Society out of a belief in using art as a tool of resistance. As creative lead, Robert designs the visual language across AIS projects—from typographic interventions to public installations—creating urgent campaigns that challenge injustice and open up public dialogue around colonial violence and solidarity.
