Echoes of Home: Memory and mobility in recent Austral-Asian Art

'Echoes of Home: Memory and Mobility in Recent Austral-Asian Art' showcases 12 Australian based Asian artists whose works shows influences from their ethnic and cultural backgrounds, while also adapting and innovating within the context of a new cultural environment. These artists use traditional skills to tell personal stories from their ‘homelands’ as well as expressing their experiences in Australia. Echoes of Home seeks to counteract the view that the Asian region is culturally homogenous. By focusing on personal accounts, the exhibition aims to highlight unique aspects of each Asian cultural group, and to illuminate their rich and immense cultural variety.
