Curated for FORM
Dear William - a dedication to William Street, curated by Andrew Nicholls for FORM's PUBLIC Festival, 2014, with sponsorship from the City of Vincent.
The exhibition paid affectionate tribute to one of Perth's most iconic inner-city streets, and its surrounding precinct, which has been home to numerous immigrant communities from the 1980s to the present day.
