Our Shared Humanity Art Exhibition


People come from all over the world seeking protection and refuge in Australia. Many don't make it to safety and, for those who do, the journey is often harrowing. Through shared hardship come art works and stories of resilience, love, strength and beauty.


Our Shared Humanity has been hosted once to great acclaim, and we know many others would want to be inspired and moved by these remarkable artists. You can help us take the exhibition to schools, workplaces, community centres, art centres around Victoria.

cohealth is a not-for-profit community health organisation that provides vital local health and support services including medical, dental, allied health, mental health, aged care, and many specialist health services across Melbourne's CBD, northern and western suburbs. 

One of our specialist health services is for refugees and asylum seekers, as they often face significant health disadvantages, have ongoing and complex health and support needs, and are at risk of not receiving the health care that they need. We are fortunate to have a highly skilled team of health professionals to support their physical and emotional wellbeing.

cohealth believes that community is crucial for our physical and emotional wellbeing. Unfortunately, refugees and asylum seekers can experience isolation and dislocation from the wider community, on top of what they may have experienced before coming here. Art can be a powerful way for people to contemplate and express themselves. Through art, people can often find meaning and share that meaning with others.

This exhibition will give people an opportunity to see what it is that we have in common and for these artists to share their perceptions with us. Through this, we will begin to know more about our fellow humans who are living as part of this same community that we live within.
