Coming soon - Follow You Home
Opening 4 to 26 September

Follow You Home presents four Cambodian and Australian-Cambodian artists, Nataly Lee, Allison Chhorn, Linda Sok and Mao Sovanchandy, exploring themes of a transnational generation, including diasporic life, cultural heritage, and the longing for connection.

Follow You Home sits within a growing movement, foregrounding diasporic voices, exploring identity shaped by migration, displacement, and cultural hybridity. By focusing on a single country, Cambodia, the exhibition highlights the divergent personal experiences that emerge from shared histories of war and migration.

The exhibition is curated by Lauren Elise Barlow in collaboration with 16albermarle Project Space.
