Come play at Latrobe Regional Gallery’s free, indoor kids art space.

Welcome to Our Communal Home in The Lane – a playful, welcoming space inspired by the themes of home, migration, and community explored in the current gallery exhibitions.

Drawing on the warm, nostalgic colours used throughout the upstairs galleries, Our Communal Lane, invites everyone to step into a space that feels like your grandmother’s lounge room – comfortable, familiar, and full of stories. Each exhibition in Traces of Home explores the idea of creating a home in a new country. From the Kurec family’s, ‘Homeground: Continuing Connections’ – emphasising a supple narrative of Ukrainian origins, arrival in Australia, and continuation of culture, and heritage; to Janina Green’s work in ‘A Country Practice’ – depicting and documenting a truthful and honest reality of migrating to an unknown land, and the quintessential roles women performed in creating home; to ‘Unpacking Home’ providing a broader look at how immigrants build and shape their homes and lives.

In The Lane, people can explore these ideas through making and creating. These are self-guided activities encourage people to think about what home means to them – the objects they treasure, the people who make them feel safe, the rooms they remember, and the landscapes that remind them of belonging. Together, these small creations form a communal, ever-changing portrait of home.

This creative play space is perfect for children under 10 years.

Open 10am-4pm daily.
