Asylum seekers art exhibit

Asylum seekers detained in Melbourne given a voice through art

An exhibition at Richmond's Gallery 314 on the weekend showcased the works of four asylum seekers currently detained at the Broadmeadows detention centre.

Two asylum seekers now living in the community, and one currently in hospital, also contributed to the show.

Organiser Lisa Stewart said the four asylum seekers still detained had been transferred to Melbourne from Manus Island and Nauru and faced a bleak future in indefinite detention.
