Inner Edge Drifting 邊緣漂泊 explores the cultural space experienced by people living in Western cultures (and specifically Australia) who have Asian roots.

“The exhibition examines the nuances of such experiences and the culture of navigating across two or more societies or traditions… What grows out of cultural navigations is unique and expands on, and critiques the set parameters we have applied to cultural identities.”

 

Inner Edge Drifting 邊緣漂泊 is part of Chatswood’s Year of the Rabbit Festival, the North Shore’s premier Lunar New Year celebrations presented by Willoughby City Council.
