RACE is an exhibition filled with nationally and internationally renowned artists who unpack, unmask and explore issues around race and what it means. The exhibition includes video, photography, sculpture, animation and collage. Complex issues are addressed with both humour and poignancy. Wyndham is one of the most diverse communities in Victoria, and the gallery provides a platform for artists to share their varied voices, perspectives, insight and knowledge.

Absolutely awesome! Can’t believe there is an exhibition of the quality in Werribee… BRILLIANT!

Thought provoking insight to what race means to a broad range of artists. Would love to see more!
Fantastic, love the William Kentridge. Keep up the great work. It was inspiring.
Wonderful to be reminded of our shared humanity.
Great show – loved the quirky and irreverent humour, such a serious and pertinent subject.
