five letters cinque lettere is a contemporary interpretation of the experience of the post WW2 migration from Italy within the Mildura community as told by artist Filomena Coppola, a child of migrants and the first generation born in Australia.

The works celebrate migration experiences, explores cultural loss, and expresses what it is to live between the culture she was born into and the one that her parents left behind.

The exhibition is not only a personal story, Filomena worked within the local community to make video and sound works which include three generations of immigration to the area.
