Through selected artworks from the Carrolup collection, the exhibition considers themes of memory, loss, hope, and survival. In many of the works, winding roads disappearing into fading pink skies speak to the children\u2019s longing for home, family, and freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>History and truth can be confronting, yet acknowledgement, acceptance, and remembrance carry their own form of beauty. Responding to the 2026 National Reconciliation Week theme&nbsp;<em>All In<\/em>, the exhibition calls on all Australians to move beyond passive observation and share the responsibility of reconciliation together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The panel talk will explore the students\u2019 curatorial process, their engagement with the artworks, and how this project has shaped their understanding of truth-telling and reconciliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Event Details<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wednesday 3 June 2026<br>2:30pm \u2013 3:30pm<br>Free event, open to the public<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/events.humanitix.com\/longing-and-hope-reconciliation-week-student-talk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Register here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Photography<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This event will be photographed and\/or videoed and images will occasionally be used for promotional and marketing purposes, including social media.
