The Maze Exhibition Opening

Join us for the opening of The Maze and travel through time.

A large-scale, immersive papier mâché installation crafted in 1991 under the guidance of artist Suesy Circosta, with more than 100 young people from migrant and refugee backgrounds in the former City of Springvale. More than 30 years later, the work returns reinterpreted through contemporary activations by multidisciplinary artists Jon Tjhia and Fayen d’Evie (The Maze: Reimagined, back ↑ notes).

Jon Tjhia and Fayen d’Evie, The Maze: Reimagined, back ↑ notes at Walker Street Gallery and Arts Centre is complemented by a museum collection exhibition at Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens (The Maze: Past, Present and Legacy). This companion exhibition brings together photographs, documents and remnants from the work’s original development in the 1990s.

Together, the two exhibitions invite audiences to reflect on the transformative power of art to build bridges — between generations, across cultures and through time.
