The exhibition will be shown across the streets and sites of Dandenong, showcasing works of a selection of refugee, asylum seeker, First Nations and migrant artists. Located in the most multicultural city in Australia, the roving exhibition will be uniquely presented across multiple venues spanning several blocks throughout central Dandenong, such as the cultural precinct (Walker Street Gallery and Arts Centre, the Drum Theatre, Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens), public spaces and the Dandenong Market. This approach mirrors the rationale of HOME, which tells a shared story through a multiplicity of perspectives.
Experience HOME 25: Invisible Cities through an intuitive exploration of artworks and sites over 14 weeks of a multi-sensory interactive exhibition. Revisiting HOME 25 in a diverse urban environment will reward a different exhibition experience each time. As artwork and geography, personal memory, and ‘psychogeographical’ interpretation of paintings, sculptures, site-specific experimental, and multimedia and sound installations are explored, you will uncover more layers of the Invisible Cities. Visit an exhibition featuring stories of displacement, belonging, connection to place and Country.
