About the exhibition

SETTLED/UNSETTLED explores issues around war and cultural displacement through the lens of asylum-seeker, refugee, and migrant experiences. By investigating the themes of conflict and exile, home and belonging, the exhibition contributes to the movement of empowerment and acceptance.

This multidisciplinary exhibition is a perfect opportunity for community engagement for your gallery. By connecting with your own own local refugee & migrant artists and offering a place for their works besides some of Australia's acclaimed artists, you get the perfect chance to bring in more people through the gallery doors. This project connects artists and communities through art and conversation, acknowledges our shared human experience and fosters mutual understanding.

Following on a successful exhibition at the Manly Art Gallery & Museum in July 2022 SETTLED/UNSETTLED is now available to tour to selected regional galleries through NSW.
