Alone, Together - Interactive Exhibition on Modern Loneliness
Description
“Alone, Together” is a youth-led initiative of Global Shapers Perth Hub exploring the emotional landscape of modern loneliness and the social pressure to “perform” in young adulthood. Envisioned as an immersive, community-driven exhibition, the project invites young people to reflect, create, and connect through art, storytelling, and connection.
While “Alone, Together” will culminate in a public interactive exhibition in June 2026, the heart of the project lies in the process of community co-creation. Monthly artist meetups invite young people in the community to come together and co-develop pieces that reflect the many facets of modern loneliness.

We pay our respects to their Elders past, present, and emerging, and acknowledge their continuing connection to the land, waters, and community.
