I don’t always visit art galleries when I travel, but when I do, it’s on the street!
Subversive, colourful, playful, temporary. Everything good art should be!

Detention in Australia costs $239,000 per year. By contrast, allowing asylum seekers to live in the community while their claims are processed costs just $12,000 per year, one twentieth of the cost of the offshore camps, and even less if they are allowed the right to work. The Government's latest statistics, dated 31 July 2015, reveal that: 118 children are held in immigration detention facilities within the Australian mainland; 87 children are held in detention in Nauru; and480 children are detained in the community under residence determinations, a system referrred to as community detention.
