What does the referendum say about attitudes in Australia, and where to now in the struggle for equity and equality for Australia’s indigenous people?
“Laughing Through It: Using Humour to Navigate Identity, Culture & Pressure” with Ramis Ansari is a Salaam Institute event centred on the lived experiences of the Muslim community in Australia. Through a candid and engaging fireside conversation, Ramis explores how humour becomes a powerful way to respond to and process Islamophobia, cultural expectations, and the pressures of navigating identity in professional and social spaces.
Drawing from his journey as both a comedian and business owner, Ramis shares how laughter can challenge stereotypes, disarm tension, and create space for more honest conversations about what it means to be visibly Muslim today.
This event brings together professionals and community members for meaningful dialogue, reflection, and connection—highlighting how humour, when grounded in lived experience, can be both a coping mechanism and a form of subtle resistance, while shaping confidence, resilience, and personal growth.
