Join Maribyrnong City Council, cohealth, the Victorian Bicultural Workers Network and the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) for Our Shared Humanity, a Refugee Week exhibition and community event featuring artworks by artists from refugee backgrounds.

The exhibition includes 20 artworks exploring identity, belonging, displacement and community connection through art and storytelling. Many of the works reflect experiences of forced migration and rebuilding life in a new country.

Opening night will include exhibition viewing, live performances, a short film screening, guest speakers and light refreshments. The event aligns with this year's Refugee Week theme, 'A Million Stories', celebrating the many stories, experiences and contributions that shape our community.

This is a free event, and everyone is welcome. Registration is required.

Exhibition viewing

Following opening night, the exhibition will be available to view on Saturday, 20 and Sunday, 21 June from 10 AM to 3 PM daily.
