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-Transit
Museum Victoria Members have the opportunity to join Alfredo and Isabel Aquilizan in creative workshops. Bring along a significant object or photograph that evokes memories of travel and migration to create a display inspired by the stories behind these items. Each display will be installed by the artists in the Immigration Museum amongst the trappings of travel for visitors to explore.
Date: display on show from 26 November 2011 to 31 January 2012

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: 26 November 2011 to 31 January 2012, daily from 10am - 5pm

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: 16 to 20 January 2012, 2pm - 4pm
