- Summary:
-
Stories of migration are very much part of the Australian experience. In most homes in Australia, you will find a bookcase, mantelpiece or shelf with a display of family photos. Intimate galleries chronicle the individuals, both young and old, who populate the family tree. Sometimes the images reach back two or three generations, perhaps depicting a relative who embarked on a long and difficult journey to Australia. This treasured portrait testifies to how that journey helped make possible the life their family has today. Why did they decide to leave their home? What was it like to arrive in a strange new country? What were the hopes and fears that motivated them to recast their lives in such a dramatic way? Hopes and Fears accompanies an exhibition of the same name, and highlights some of these significant and diverse stories. With an essay from Director of Exhibitions, Guy Hansen, and discursive, interpretative captions, this book touches on a wide range of migration stories from throughout Australia's history.
