Guest curator Anna Louise Richardson explores the experience of migration and the ‘outsider’ in Australia through this exhibition. Bringing together the work of Olga Cironis, Eva Fernandez and Marziya Mohammedali, the show provides a visual exploration of three women’s experiences in making and exploring a new home. This exhibition portrays the Australian cultural landscape and attitudes to welcoming or accepting difference.
Embedded within the broader Australian narrative of xenophobia and privilege, this exhibition examines alternative perceptions of home as a means of reassessing the politicised nature of ethnicity in Australia. Presented in association with Melbourne’s Human Rights Arts & Film Festival.
