In 'Changed Forever', stories of migrants who have resettled in Australia from war-torn countries are presented beside those of recent veterans of overseas service in the Australian Defence Force. This moving exhibition explores the impacts of global and civil conflict in changing lives and shaping contemporary Australia.

All have been redefined by the emotional and physical dislocation of war, and seek to reconcile this with their new lives.

Enhanced with art, objects, photographs, audio visuals and interactives, their personal stories reflect the range and depth of experiences in conflict and life post-war.

This exhibition is currently on display at Coal Creek and will close on 4 December 2023. Changed Forever has been touring around regional Victoria since 2019 and with its last stop in Korumburra, we hope you’ll join us to learn more about the exhibition and meet some of the storytellers.

The event will be held on November 25 at 2pm and will include a behind-the-scenes insight into how the exhibition came to be, as well as an opportunity to speak with the exhibition storytellers. Light refreshments will be provided.
