Homeland Stories

Harmony Week is a celebration of Australia’s rich and culturally diverse communities, focusing on inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of cultural or linguistic background, united by a set of core Australian values. This exhibition is a partnership between Yarra Plenty Regional Library and Banyule Council, showcasing Australian multiculturalism, and the successful integration of migrants into our community.

Homeland – Treasured Objects from Afar celebrates these diverse stories and reveals treasured objects each participant brought with them from their homeland. Yarra Plenty Regional Library gratefully acknowledges the Local History Grants Program and Public Record Office Victoria, supported by the Victorian Government through the Community Support Fund.
