This exhibition will be up till 20th October.
The tiles can be mixed up with others to make new portraits that show how we have things in common with other people. In this exhibition the tiles have been mixed up. When the tiles return to the school they will be arranged back into the original self-portraits.

Exquisite Me is an arts project that explores the collective experiences, stories and representations of identities of young people in Sunshine and Brimbank. These experiences, stories and representations will be explored during various art and writing workshops run by community artist Debbie Qadri. The artwork and writing will be displayed as a large collaborative work, in a number of venues in Sunshine, including Gallery Sunshine Everywhere. Some of the artwork and writing will be made into an artist’s book for the Sunshine Library. Workshops will be held at schools, community groups and at Council facilities such as the Sunshine Library .

The self portraits were painted onto three canvases, so that they could be swapped around to make more portraits of people, as a metaphor for shared experiences and identities.
The fabulous artists are: Aaron, Shanae, Gina, Khadija, Caitlin, Duc, Michael, Kayla, Andrew, Christine, Mohamed, Skye, Britney, Courtney, Brendonn, Chevan, Francis, Alex, Victoria, Rachel, Colin, and Emily.
Well done! You did a great job! and thanks to your teacher Mirjana Vuk-Nikic
