Overview

'Recognising yourself in a lineup' is an exhibition by participants from Messengers, which is a visual arts based program for vulnerable youth. Their artworks are based in pop culture and have become metaphors and vehicles to explore queer identity, gender diversity, intergenerational trauma and their lived experiences of mental illness.

Recognising yourself in a lineup will open alongside Testamur 8 by Canberra Art Workshop, and

Echoes of Nature and Self by Smitha Dudaga.
