Personal Mythologies explores the role that fantasy and imagination play in our constructions of self and our relationships to place and history. This thematic group exhibition brings together sculpture, installation, textiles and painting by seven Australian and international artists whose work points towards diasporic, transcultural perspectives, forming new narratives. The artists address elements of folklore, mythology and storytelling in their work, complicating ideas of cultural translation and personal identity.
