About the exhibitions:
On Our Way Home delves into the multi-layered concept of ‘home’ through archival installation. Ka Yan So (Kelly) draws upon her solo migration journey and family trauma to explore the complexity and essence of belonging.
Ji Li’s film Where is my friend's home? in his exhibition The sun will rise for you shares the perspectives of delivery riders and first-generation immigrants who are often misrepresented within Australian screen culture
Between the Fog examines the disembodied ways we engage with and extract meaning from cultural phenomena.
There will be a short performance by Sonny Cargill at 6:15pm.
All welcome, RSVP essential.
The exhibitions continue until 21 June.
Ji Li's project was supported by the RMIT Culture Cultural Visions Grant.
