A Mile In My Shoes

Overview

We all know the idiom, but this art installation, in collaboration with The Empathy Museum, invites visitors to literally walk a mile in someone else's shoes. What's more, the pop-up store in which you find said footwear is shaped like a giant shoe box. These are real shoes, too, but not just anyone's; these are the shoes of people with real stories: refugees and migrants who have come to Australia, made it their home and changed the environment around them in the process. You'll learn, you'll laugh, you'll cry, but one thing's for sure — you'll never think of the famous phrase in the same way again.
