Featuring portraits of local refugees by South Australian artists, this show responds to the highly politicised and divisive global phenomenon of immigration and asylum. Through the mediums of paint and photography, artists capture individualised stories tracing the plights, challenges and successes of their journeys to our shores. Presented by the Australian Refugee Association and the State Library of South Australia, the exhibition confronts audiences with provocative themes of multiculturalism, human rights, cultural diversity and anti-racism, ultimately nurturing acceptance and empathy.
