The Australian National University (ANU) is an engaging research-based project that delves into the diverse impacts of separation across personal, cultural, and political contexts. Through a combination of academic research, public events, exhibitions, and community engagement, the initiative addresses critical issues such as forced migration, family separation, historical dislocation, and identity loss. Positioned within ANU’s world-class research environment in Canberra, "Separated" creates a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration, encouraging new insights into how separation shapes societies and individuals across time and place.
