The research took place in three regional towns – Griffith NSW, Hedland WA, and Port Lincoln SA. Each of these towns is experiencing net youth outmigration despite their strong local economies. The research sought to better understand the reasons why young people leave these areas but also why some choose to stay, and others return.
The exhibition includes work by researchers and participants involved in the study and features handmade textiles by artist-activist Tal Fitzpatrick, and a collaboration between mother-daughter, Aboriginal artists Lorna Dawson and Kimberley McKie.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Exhibition Opening
