FREE EXHIBITIONS
LULLABY: The Artspace
Created by Gaelle Mellis, the Lullaby exhibition is a place for children to play and adults to rest. The exhibition encourages children to explore their own bedtime rituals of cosiness and play, and sometimes the tingle of a night time monster under the bed!
OUR STORIES: Door 3, Festival Theatre Foyer
A creative collaboration between the staff and students, and their families, of the Adelaide Secondary School of English in collaboration with Abdullah Teia, Our Stories is a powerful exhibition produced in 2006 as part of the Working Together in Harmony project. A series of banners promote cultural diversity and harmony, while illustrations tell deeply personal stories of war, asylum and hope.
