Sweet 16 captures the stories and images of 16 women over the age of 60. It asks them to reflect on where they were at 16, with whom they lived, their dreams for the future, culminating in what advice they would give their younger self. Sweet 16 is a reflection of women from differing backgrounds, socioeconomic status, and experiences.

Join us at Five Dock Library for a special talk accompanying the exhibition From Volcanoes We Sailed. 

Uncover the cultural heritage of the Aeolian community who hail from a volcanic archipelago in the Mediterranean, and encounter some of the extraordinary families who have helped shape the culture of modern Australia. 

Developed in collaboration with the Aeolian community.
