Upcoming Events


7-8 February 2013


Crossroad Photo Exhibition

The Crossroad photo exhibition of the great East Japan earthquake will take place from 7-8 February 2013 in Brisbane.
More than a year and a half has passed since the Great East Japan earthquake struck on 11 March 2011. Despite this, many people are still feeling effects of losing their loved ones, homelessness and financial loss. Over time there has been small steps made to  rebuild the communities and cultural life. This exhibition is a photo journey through areas that have been effected, and emphasizes the importance of the communities we live in.
