UNSEEN: "Walk a mile in my shoes" by Fiona Arnold

Bring your shoes and story to UNSEEN's participant Fiona, our artist in residence for the month of December 2021, who is creating an installation called "Walk in my shoes". All are invited to participate and share their life experiences.

"Walk a mile in my shoes" 

The shoes are a snap-shot of portraits of women's lives and written stories. They represent different intersections of life, some confronting homelessness, abuse, addiction, mental illness, disability, poverty, sexuality, aging, racism, domestic violence, loss, unemployment and seeking asylum. 

The shoes represent the women in our communities who fight so hard advocating for change, human rights and social justice. These stories are often not heard and go unseen.

The visual impact of 'Walk a mile in my shoes' enables the inclusion of many women's stories to be told and collectively seen. 

This event received a City of Sydney CBD activation grant.
