Filipino-born, Brisbane-based artists Alfredo and Isabel Aquilizan touchdown in Melbourne to create Another Country - a series of projects done in partnership with the Immigration Museum. The series explores ideas of journeys, migration and memory, as well as the life and meaning of everyday objects kept and cherished or discarded and forgotten over time. Projects include:

In-Flight
Construct a miniature aeroplane from a huge selection of recycled materials and contribute to an ever-expanding installation created by the artists. The planes will pile up, take off and soar over the second floor of the Immigration Museum, referencing a transitional place of leave-taking and homecoming.
Date: Until to 31 January 2012

In-Habit
Dwell on what makes the perfect home and create your vision using recycled boxes, cardboard and tape during a workshop with Alfredo and Isabel Aquilizan. Work as an individual or as a family to construct your house and contribute to our growing community installation in the Immigration Museum or our virtual community online.
Date: 2pm - 4pm, 16 to 20 January 2012

In-Transit
Explore evocative displays created by families and Alfredo and Isabel Aquilizan that delve into family stories of migration. Amongst the trapping of travel - bags, suitcases, freight containers and packing pallets - and placed around the 17-metre replica ship, the displays will feature significant objects and photographs that evoke memories of travel and migration.
Date: Until 31 January 2012
