Description

A series of six interviews conducted by members of the Thebarton Community Arts Network with local women of non-English speaking backgrounds. The interviews were the first stage of a community arts project in which interviewees collaborated with interviewers to produce lino prints which represented aspects of their migration and settlement experiences. The project culminated in an exhibition at the Fig Gallery, Thebarton during November and December 1994. A catalogue of the interviews and prints was launched at another exhibition of the prints during the 1996 Adelaide Festival of Arts. Not all of the project's interviews are represented in the J. D. Somerville Oral History Collection.
