What We Carry -
This amazing exhibition is still on until the end of June 2026.
What We Carry explores the objects people choose to carry and what they represent in relation to memory, identity, belonging and experiences of transition and displacement. The exhibition is rooted in community, care and collaboration, and has been developed through a co-curated process.
While the exhibition does draw attention to individual stories, these are shared in a considered and respectful way, shaped by collaboration and consent.
