What is ‘assembly’? 

'Assembly’ can be a temporary collective with a shared sense of purpose or a creative, resilient (and sometimes precarious) construction. This exhibition unites eight artists born in Hong Kong across different diasporic generations and delves into the process of 'making sense' of layers and fragments, of memories and stories, whether narrated or left unspoken. 

The exhibition features a Weaving Workshop, Yarning paper workshop and an Artist Talk with Pamela Leung.

This brings with it an increase in pedestrian, vehicular and cycling traffic – and their consequent implications for safety on our roads and paths. ANU would like to remind all members of our community to be aware of the risks presented by the increase in traffic flows.

There are also useful resources available regarding safe e-scooter use, cycling, walking and ANUOK 

With the start of the new academic year, it is important to report any safety hazards and incidents so that ANU can keep our community safe and well.
