Fam by Where Are You From?

Fam addresses the complexities of familial relationships, specifically to do with identity, and seeks to redefine the conventional so-called Australian family portrait.

This series of portraits and stories celebrates, educates, and raises awareness about the black and Indigenous people of colour (BIPOC) identity through thought-provoking art and storytelling.

For many people of colour living in communities with a white predominance, the question 'where are you from?' is a regular encounter. While this question might be considered harmless, it can be othering and tiresome to constantly explain your existence.

Like the Immigration Museum, Fam fosters the exchange of stories about culture and history, and fearlessly discusses the big questions of life.
