Naarm/Melbourne’s design landscape is shaped by the many inheritances migrants carry with them—whether through formal design practice or everyday acts of making. Their work transforms fragments of culture, memory, and identity into new visual and material forms, mapping a practice where hybridity is richness and adaptation is creativity.
Echoes of Elsewhere is an exhibition about what multicultural design makes possible:
Reimagining heritage. Redefining belonging. Reshaping place.
We welcome you to RMIT for a celebration of migrant designers, storytellers, and makers whose voices and cultures weave into Melbourne’s fabric, leaving echoes that continue to shape the city we share.
🍸 Opening Night: 10th October, 5 PM
