Vessels to a Story – presented by RISE Arts
June 1, 2016 @ 6:00 pm - June 29, 2016 @ 5:00 pm AEST
Exhibition launch: Wednesday, 1 June, 6pm to 8pm.
Location: Library at The Dock Gallery 107 Victoria Harbour Promenade Docklands VIC 3000
This exhibition is not a celebration of ‘multiculturalism’, nor is it a celebration of Melbourne as a ‘melting pot’ of cultures.
Refugee journeys are complex responses to difficult situations. Six artists and a museum curator will respond to the vessels that push people to become refugees and how the government respond to people seeking refuge.
These vessels are displacement to settlement to return. We seek to reclaim and challenge dominant narratives about refugees.
