7TH MAY 2010:
official opening of Debra Rankin's exhibition
Family Matters
at the Serpentine Community Gallery
on Friday, from 6.30pm.
Debra's solo exhibition examines the topic of
Parental Alienation. Debra is an appropriation collage photomontage artist using images and text from
 legal publications and popular culture.
"Through my arts practice I wish to bring awareness to Parental Alienation in the context of child-custody disputes and the legal culture that facilitates the process of alienation. Parental Alienation is the creation
of a singular relationship between a child and parent,
to the exclusion of the other parent."
All welcomed to come along for some food, music
and appreciation of local art.
For more info contact the gallery on 6621 6845.
On view from the 3rd to the 14th of May, 2010.

and recorded some of their stories. Their stories and Peter's interview can be listened to in MP3 format at:

presented food prepared by Vicky from 'Bite My Artz'.
