SWINBURNE AND IMMERSE ART FESTIVAL TAKE OVER THE EAST
Swinburne is teaming up with Knox City Council for Immerse 2017, an arts festival that will take over Melbourne’s east. The feature artwork is ‘Untitled House’, a project led by Swinburne’s Roh Singh, a public artist and visual arts educator.
“The elements contained in the artwork talk to the central theme and current debates of home affordability and ownership and the slipping of the commonly described ‘Australian Dream’,” says Mr Singh.
