Finding Freedom
Refugee Week Art Exhibition

Friday 6 June – Saturday 28 June
Exhibition Launch: Thursday 5 June, 5:30pm

In celebration of Refugee Week, this exhibition highlights the work of artists from refugee backgrounds who now call Lutruwita/Tasmania home.

Drawing on traditional art practices and newly developed skills, the artists came together through workshops facilitated by Migrant Resource Centre Tasmania, Multicultural Youth Tasmania, and the Phoenix Centre. In these sessions, artists explored themes of freedom, diversity, and community.

The resulting exhibition is a vibrant celebration of the diversity of our community, showcasing artists from a range of cultural backgrounds, including Afghan, Eritrean, Ethiopian, Myanmar, and Bhutanese.

Entry to the galleries is free.
