Refugee Art Project

Art by Refugees | Exhibitions | Zines | Sydney AU Website | Twitter | Facebook Contact Us: [email protected] We have been hosting art workshops with asylum seekers in the Villawood Detention Centre since 2011. We were so impressed by the quality of the works and the powerful messages conveyed in the images that we started exhibiting them to the public: Life in Limbo, fear+hope, Building Bridges. Three years later and we’re still in Villawood every week, we’re running art workshops for refugees living in the community at our Parramatta studio and we’re collaborating with friends, artists, refugee advocacy groups and community organisations to share these incredible artworks. On this blog we’re sharing works produced in our classes, updates and event notifications as well as other creative projects we find interesting!
