‘Legacies of Conflict’ exhibition is coming to Coal Creek

IN ‘Changed Forever: Legacies of Conflict’ exhibition coming to South Gippsland, stories of migrants who have resettled in Australia from war-torn countries are told beside those of recent veterans of overseas service in the Australian Defence Force.

By telling these stories, this Shrine of Remembrance exhibition explores the impacts of global and civil conflict in changing lives and shaping contemporary Australia.

The exhibition has been moving across the state since September 2019, and Coal Creek is the last place to host this moving event.

When you come along to the exhibition, expect to be met with art, objects, photographs, audio visuals and interactives that all help to enhance the personal stories and their experiences in conflict and life post-war.

Mayor of South Gippsland Shire Council, Nathan Hersey, is delighted to be hosting the exhibition locally.

“With the Changed Forever: Legacies of Conflict exhibition coming to South Gippsland, it is an opportunity for us all to learn more about the impact of conflicts on our veterans, and on the many people who come to our country for a better and safer life.”

To celebrate ‘Changed Forever’ coming to South Gippsland, an opening event will be held on Thursday, August 31 between 6pm and 8pm.

After that, you will be able to view the exhibition until December 4, 2023 during Coal Creek’s opening hours which are Friday to Monday 10am to 4pm, or seven days-a-week during school holidays.
