Project Summary:

This project will engage a community artist to work with refugee and migrant youth to create a mobile exhibition in Dandenong, Mooney Valley and Hume.  The exhibitions will provide an opportunity for the young people to communicate with the wider community the richness and diversity of their experiences and what they bring to Australia.  The project will provide an opportunity for young people to explore their own identity in workshops (approximately 4 workshops for each local government area) to develop their contribution to the exhibition.
