Are you or a family member a migrant who arrived in Australia by ship and disembarked at Port Melbourne? Multicultural Arts Victoria is interested in hearing your story for possible inclusion in an upcoming arts project. Meet the curator and learn more at the Immigration Museum, Flinders St, Melbourne on Saturday 26 September.
 

Multicultural Arts Victoria is thrilled to support the development and presentations of a project entitled ‘2015-16 What Happened at the Pier #2’ curated by Lella Cariddi.
