We Are Kin
Mon 3 March 2025 - Mon 2 June 2025
Wollongong Library
We Are Kin photo exhibition explores the power of connection: how kinship can grow from starting conversations with strangers.
Wollongong photographer Ruth Barbato noticed an increased sense of disconnection in society post-lockdown. She went into the community to take portraits, listen to people's stories, and most importantly, connect. The exhibition presents life-size portraits and audio conversations with some of the people she met.
View the exhibition and listen to the stories online at Illawarra Stories.
