Richmond Homes Multicultural Stories

‘Richmond Homes Multicultural Stories’ - Community Empowerment Project - Richmond Housing Estate, Melbourne 2004.

Culturally diverse participants from the Richmond Housing Estate developed a project that revealed their astounding stories and raised public awareness of the issues relating to refugees and asylum seekers. The outcome was a series of portraits and stories that were exhibited at four locations around Melbourne including a forum conducted by the Honorable Malcolm Fraser and Julian Burnside Q.C. at the Footscray Community Arts Centre.
