To celebrate Refugee Week 2025, Syrian artist Miream Salameh co-creates a powerful exhibition with local community, exploring what ‘home’ means to each participant. The results will be displayed at G3 Artspace, Parkdale from 28 May to 28 June.
We encourage you to make your own artwork to add to the growing display leading up to and during the exhibition. This project is in partnership with Westall Community Centre and Multicultural Arts Victoria, with additional contributions from students at Westall and Clayton South Primary Schools.
