Follow You Home

To be young, transnational and searching, is to live between worlds. Until someone takes your hand and guides you home.

  4 to 26 September 2026

Linda Sok, Allison Chhorn, Mao Sovanchandy, and Nataly Lee,

Four young Cambodian and Australian-Cambodian artists exploring themes of a transnational generation, including diasporic life, cultural heritage, and the longing for connection. For Linda Sok, Allison Chhorn, Mao Sovanchandy, and Nataly Lee, identity has been shaped by cultural flux—living between countries, languages, and traditions. Their experiences are challenged and enriched by the contrast between upbringing abroad and inherited ties to culture and country. Working across film, photography, installation, and mediums rooted in artisan Khmer traditions such as painting and textiles, they trace ideas of home as both inherited and reimagined, questioning what it means to belong to a culture that feels both distant and intimate. The works speak to living through a lens different from their parents, a home between countries and cultures, while expressing a persistent longing to maintain connection to Khmer identity. Together, they offer an intimate view into the lives of young women navigating selfhood in a globalised world, producing works that are deeply personal yet widely resonant.
