What’s happening at the @migration_museum

  • CONNECTING HEARTS Current debates on migration often focus on the divide between those who are accepted as belonging and those who aren’t. It is easy to forget the hearts we have in common. Connecting Hearts is a participatory art project coming to Adelaide next month. Following success in Sydney and London, the project invites people to make small clay human hearts by attending workshops at the Migration Museum led by artist Penny Ryan. Your hearts will then be fired and wrapped in cloth and be placed on display in a large installation at the @migration_museum and the @botanicgardenssa. Be part of something beautiful. Book at place at a free workshop to make your heart. Full booking details in bio link. #migration #migrationmuseum @pennyryanartist
