Colonial constructs of Australian identity have politically and culturally distancedAustralia from its geographical neighbours. Despite this, and in the face ofthe immigration restriction act, the Asian communities have had a long and significant history of contributing to Australia.

HYPHENATED presents the work of a number of contemporary Asian-Australian artists living locally in Victoria, offering varying perspectives of issues, from the personal to the global, through a hyphenated lens.
