In Suburbia: Recent Detours, is an exhibition project that features contemporary artists from across the country who probe, celebrate and question the notion of the great Australian dream.

As we look down the nation’s street of dreams so much has altered. A modest home in a secure community is now financially out of reach to the majority of young people. What was once considered a beacon of security is now evolving into a site of constant anxiety that too often erupts into tragic scenes of domestic violence. Nevertheless, suburbia, in all its disparate manifestations remains the living paradigm for the great majority of Australians.

In Suburbia: Recent Detours, is a timely project as the nation comes to terms with an ever-growing housing crisis.

Curated by Gavin Wilson.
