Home: Between Here and There
See a compelling set of works by eight artists seeking asylum in Australia.
Overview
From August 19, Settlement Services International will be presenting a unique exhibition from a group of artists seeking asylum in Australia. On display at Bankstown Arts Centre, Home: Between Here and There will evoke unfinished journeys and the shared experience of asylum.
The exhibition is the product of a 10-week course, which focused on professional development and assisting the artists' transition into the Australian cultural scene. The eight works created challenge understandings of ‘home’ and fixed identities. Each artist will share an intriguing and personal narrative through their work, reflecting on notions of place and belonging.
The artists featured in the show include Babak Jahangirzadeh, Damon Amb, Farid Assadi, Hayder Shakir Al Bdairi, Mahdi Jahangirzadeh, Mohanad Al Ghezi, Mohammed Alanezi and Sefullah (Amir) Akbari. Join the opening reception on August 19, 6-7.30pm.
