A new exhibition that focusses on stories to celebrate the courage of those who stand up to prejudice and discrimination has opened at Wollongong Art Gallery.
The exhibition, titled Courage to Care, will officially open tonight, Tuesday 3 October, and will run for approximately two months.
It’s presented by Courage to Care whose remit is to create awareness around the dangers of racism, prejudice, and discrimination, and to provide opportunities for people to learn and challenge their own attitudes and behaviours.
Courage to Care uses inspiring stories of survival from the Holocaust to illustrate the importance of being an Upstander when confronted by discrimination.
The exhibition is also in line with Wollongong City Council’s commitment to provide opportunities for education and cultural learning following confirmation last year that Wollongong Art Gallery benefactor Bob Sredersas was considered a Nazi Collaborator.
