25.01.2022 We were excited to finally be able to launch the SA Refugee Week Youth Poster Awards Exhibition for 2020 at the Kerry Packer Civic Gallery at The Bob Hawke Prim...e Ministerial Centre. Originally intended to be displayed during SA Refugee week in June, but put on hold due to restrictions on social gatherings, the exhibition features a curated selection of 88 works shortlisted from over 400 submissions from primary, high school and tertiary institutions across South Australia. The artworks celebrate the courage, resilience, strength and contributions of people of refugee background and will be on display in the gallery until Wednesday 25th November as well as being available to view online by following the link. The exhibition will be toured throughout the next 12 months. Our thanks go to the Honourable Jing Lee MLC, Assistant Minister to the Premier, for launching the special occasion as well as to our partners The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre at UniSA and the SA Refugee Week Committee. https://amrc.org.au/sa-refugee-week-youth-poster-awards-exh
