Alfredo and Isabel Aquilizan create remarkably imaginative installations that use the processes of collecting and collaboration to express ideas of migration, family and memory. Often working with local communities and conducting art-making workshops, the Aquilizans compose elaborate, formal installations reflecting individual experiences of dislocation and change.

The Aquilizans’ forthcoming exhibition, In-Habit: Project Another Country will present two separate, but interconnected works, that focus on engagement and interactivity with the local community, particularly with children. The exhibition will be shown at the University of South Australia’s Anne & Gordon Samstag Musuem of Art from 1 August until 3 October.

In the lead-up to the exhibition there will be a series of workshops and talks. The first workshop will coincide with the SA Refugee Week 2014: Youth Poster Awards Exhibition, currently showing at the Kerry Packer Civic Gallery. Visitors are invited to drop by the Kerry Packer Civic Gallery and create cardboard sculptures of houses and other dwellings that will contribute to the exhibition.

See the Samstag Museum of Art website to view the full program of In-Habit: Project Another Country workshops and talks, as well as booking information.
