Curious about the stories and memories that shape who we are? “We Have Been Called Many Things” is an interactive exhibition and free workshop series that invites you to explore the vibrant, evolving identities of Chinese-speaking Australians.

There are four engaging art projects that bring community voices to life. Every artwork comes with a free workshop where you can share your own memories, try creative activities, and connect with artists and fellow visitors. Whether you want to play childhood games, test your VR cooking skills, watch unique handcrafts, or reflect on family history, there’s something for everyone.

Come be part of the conversation—bring friends, family, and anyone curious about identity. Let’s celebrate the stories!

We Have Been Called Many Things is presented by Footscray Community Arts and Melbourne Fringe. Produced by Curatorial Ensemble.
