A television in a room

HOME 25 – Invisible Cities invites audiences to explore how the concept of 'home' shapes identity, belonging, and dislocation.

Inspired by Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities, the exhibition examines the symbolic power of language, gesture, and visual markers like maps and borders. It investigates how these symbols shape our reality and invite deeper interpretation.

Taking place across iconic locations in central Dandenong, including the Walker Street Gallery and Arts Centre, the precinct-wide experience showcases work by international, national, and local artists. Through diverse perspectives, it challenges viewers to rethink the complexities of ‘home’ in a rapidly changing world.
