COMMUNITY CALENDAR: Northern suburbs

Images of hope

Hume artists Ahmad Sabra and Zahrah Habibullah present an exhibition of photography, objects and jewellery. Sabra’s work reflects stories of refugees, while Habibullah’s art investigates our relationship with objects such as jewellery, which is often the smallest, most valuable item one can take if fleeing from home. September 4-October 26, Gee Lee-Wik Doleen Gallery, Hume Global Learning Centre, Craigieburn.
