The University of Western Australia (UWA) is an interdisciplinary project that explores the far-reaching impacts of separation through research, creative expression, and public engagement. Focusing on themes such as forced migration, family division, cultural displacement, and social isolation, the initiative brings together academics, artists, students, and community members to examine how separation shapes individual identities and collective histories. Hosted within UWA’s vibrant academic environment in Perth, "Separated" aims to spark critical conversations and deepen understanding of separation as a defining element of the human experience.
