As recipient of the 2014 Cultural Exchange Grant Moreland City Council is pleased to present Voiceless Journeys at various sites across the Moreland municipality in March and April.
A powerful exhibition by the organization Ondru Voiceless Journeys is a project that celebrates cultural diversity and combats racism through portraiture photography and storytelling.
The project was developed in 2012 by arts organisation Ondru to raise awareness about the journey and achievements of people who have left their countries as a result of conflict.
The exhibition has been displayed in the cities of Darebin, Whitehorse and around Melbourne. The Moreland installation of Voiceless Journeys will be displayed in both indoor and outdoor sites across Coburg during March and April of 2014. The outdoor spaces will include the front of the Coburg Library and in Dunns Lane, Coburg. In addition to this, an exhibition of the Voiceless Journeys project and its history will be displayed in the Coburg Town Hall Arts Space.
The Voiceless Journeys project has been funded by the Cultural Exchange Initiative Grant with support from The Coburg Initiative.
