Community--What does it mean to you?

This is an exploration about different communities. Is it the people or the infrastructure or the people? What would we like to be in our communities?

The exhibition includes audiovisual work to illuminate the art and includes poetry from the eagerly awaited anthology; Community. From the spoken word event, based at the Bell.
