Survivors of Torture and Trauma

Survivors of Torture and Trauma Rehabilitation Service (STTARS)

6 September – 30 November 2001

Opened by Carol Whitelock, ABC Journalist

This exhibition provided a brief overview of survivors, people who have come to South Australia, overcoming incredibly difficult and often traumatic experiences to attempt to build new lives here. The exhibition aimed to help people understand the experience of survivors, who have often come as refugees and faced difficulties in Australia also. It included personal stories as well as information on the processes refugees go through in order to come here.
