You're Welcome?

Curated by Dharug artist Billy Bain, You're Welcome? explores the ways in which a group of young Sydney-based artists form, express, and interrogate ideas of what it means to be welcome. Through non-traditional, figurative portraiture, these artists navigate their own multicultural identities and create both physical and digital space for community, despite an often hostile and unwelcoming wider Australian consciousness. Running concurrently with Invasion Day and The University of Sydney's Welcome Week, You're Welcome? celebrates and platforms these artist's unique stories and perspectives — from the political to the surreal and humorous.
