the edge

Last night I went with a very lovely person to the opening of the Campbelltown art centre's 'Edge of Elsewhere' exhibition. Going out on the journey west after work was a first for me, all that traffic and the longest tunnel in Australia?! (or maybe the driver driver was pulling my leg...) It was interesting to see a side of Sydney relatively so close to home that I am so removed from culturally and physically! Suitably, the exhibition focused on community projects by artists working on the periphery or 'edge'. The exhibition as a whole is part of a three year project engaging with the diverse cultural mix that is Western Sydney.

I didn't take any photos last night, and I can't find any on the internet at the moment, but if you are a sydney-sider I definitely recommend going along to check it out. taking a bit of a road trip. Enjoy the beautiful coin opperated dancers, studio ghibli-esq animation shots telling the story of an aboriginal boy and robotic cow! All glimpses and takes at what it might mean for us to be Australians in this moment.
