Abstract: The Melbourne Suburbs part of the Immigrant Networks exhibition delves into the spatialised experiences of mostly Southeast Asian-Australian communities, whose local origins were as refugees in the 1970s and 1980s, exploring their engagement with space and the negotiation of identities through labour and inhabitation of the Melbourne suburbs of Footscray and Springvale. Framed by Henri Lefebvre’s trialectics of spatial production this paper discusses how the conceptions of representation and the immigrant histories and geographies as an exhibition in a museum intersect with immigrants’ own narratives and spatialised histories, and more broadly how academic, architectonic and curatorial approaches intersect with immigrant subjectivities.
