Sunita Bala

What is HOME? is a creative investigation into the conditions that create inclusive and progressive communities and how these conditions can be fostered to create sustainable positive change. In an artistic collaboration with patrons of The Tamworth Regional Gallery and Tamworth's annual Fiesta La Peel, this video work explores and celebrates the lived experiences and the diversity of communities that call Tamworth home.
