Explore the concept of home through 70+ raku-fired porcelain vessels and clay sculptures by children from the Three2Six project.

Explore the many meanings of home through clay sculptures by children from the Three2Six project, Raku-fired vessels by Nina Shand & Kate Shand, images documenting refugee and migrant children’s experiences (Three2Six and Alliance Francaise), and Windybrow Arts Centre’s reimagined Victorian dollhouse. The exhibition blends art therapy and arts-based approaches to migration, in collaboration with Nereida- Ripero Muñiz, to reflect on belonging, creativity and identity in a situation of displacement. New Additions: ‘Leaving No Child Behind’ – A powerful photo series by Three2Six & Alliance Française, shedding light on the lives of refugee and migrant children; ‘Doll’s Building and City Project’ – A reimagined Victorian doll’s house, transformed into a South African context by Windybrow Art Centre.
