Co-curator and artist Corrina Eastwood described working on the project as a “really important personal and professional journey”.
She said: “The desire to adequately honour self, family, community and culture has been a moving and at times overwhelming experience.
“Yet we have been able to address this by weaving together shared histories, gathered through traditional archiving and an art-based approach.”
Ms Eastwood’s piece, titled Sugar Coated, reflects on her heritage and memories of her late father, incorporating 3D-printed casts of his hands.
Another piece, Tap Your Heels Together Three Times, by Delaine Le Bas, explores belonging, gender and modernity.
Ms Le Bas draws on her family history and Romani traditions such as rag-and-bone dealing – where dealers collected unwanted household items like rags, bones and scrap metal to sell for recycling.
