I AM, YOU ARE, WE ARE
Curated by Anna Louise Richardson, I AM, YOU ARE, WE ARE explores the experience of migration and the 'outsider' in Australia.
Bringing together the work of Olga Cironis, Eva Fernandez and Marziya Mohammedali this exhibition provides a visual exploration of three women's experiences in making and exploring a new home. Engaging artists whose works examine themes of identity, and dislocation I AM, YOU ARE, WE ARE portrays the Australian cultural landscape, and its 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.
