Inheritance

I just want you to be happy

An exhibition showcasing multimedia works from Australian and International Jewish artists. It was my overall aim to take the audience on a roller coaster ride of emotions, at times poignant and at times humourous. I wanted the audience to stop, think, laugh and cry.

The work I received was rich in narrative and history because every artist, indeed every person has their own story and beyond that story there is an ‘Inheritance’. Inheritance is a ‘gift’ you receive without asking, it is something you are ‘daubed’ with consciously and/or unconsciously, beyond material possession. Inheritance includes memory, your own and the memories of your ancestors, as if they were your own. As a concept, Inheritance straddled the ‘difference’ divide of the groups personal, historic, linguistic and cultural diversity. Regardless of their background the artists’ inheritance is clear.
