Virtual Reality diorama telling the story of how an migrant may feel about the "lucky country".
You stand in a small cramped run down room, in the centre of the room is a package from Australia sent by a friend. As you move forward, you see that it is full of objects, metaphors/symbols that represent what may lie beyond the waters and the end of a long journey by boat.
Using a historic post-war time frame allows for the participants to reflect on the positive outcomes that migrants have brought to Australia.
Italian migrants settled in Australia in the hundreds and thousands.
This project aims to explore the story of how they may have felt before leaving Italy. Evoke ideas of mystery, wonder and connection between two places.
