The exhibition five letters cinque lettere is a contemporary interpretation of the experience of the post WW2 migration from Italy within the Mildura community as told by artist Filomena Coppola, a child of migrants and first generation Australian. The works celebrate migration experiences, explore cultural loss and express what it is to live between the culture you were born into and the one your parents left behind.
This exhibition is not only a personal story, Filomena worked within the local community to make video and sounds works which include three generations of immigrations to the area.
