Join guide Samantha Wilson for a Deaf-led tour of Skin Shade Night Day – the first major solo exhibition by Allison Chhorn, exploring the daily routine and rituals practised by the artist’s Cambodian-Australian family.

After the tour, hang around for part one of Chhorn's screening program that centres around works that inspired Skin Shade Night Day. The subtitled screening will include the films Last Night I Saw You Smiling (78 mins) by Kavich Neang and Boding (9 mins) by Kanitha Tith.
