In The Deep West is a group exhibition that features works by six artists who met through a socially-engaged arts program in Melbourne’s outer west on Wadawurrung and Boonwurrung/Bunurong Country.

Despite the variety of mediums and processes used in their artistic practice; including but not limited to - sculpture, textiles, photography, painting and installation - these artists share the same desire of wanting to interrogate the preconceived.

Inspired by their diverse personal experiences and backgrounds, they further explore identity, body, assimilation, class, memory, infinity and the natural world. Together, their practices acknowledge and celebrate the undeniable diversity and enormous potential of the arts in the outskirts of the city.
