This exhibition is a culmination of work undertaken in and with the City of Melville from January to June this year.
A one of a kind exhibition, a part of an overall project, displaying works of art, historical images and short films that weave the stories of a "lost generation of people" in with those of their fellow community members. The Lost Generation refers to a generation of people with intellectual disabilities many of whom have been institutionalised for most of their lives. It is about hearing these stories and recognising and celebrating people who have traditionally been socially isolated.
