To our readers in Australia, be sure not to miss this great photo exhibit that is ongoing at the National Museum of Australia Canberra. Selling an American Dream: Australia's Greek Café is a photographic exhibition of Australia's Greek cafés. The exhibition explores the key role that Greek Australians played during the formative years of Australian culture. (They say you could find a Greek cafe in every major city and town in Australia.)
This exhibition not only looks at how the Greek café helped transform Australian popular culture, but also the personal stories of those involved. While the heyday of the Greek cafe in Australia has come and gone, and many our fading the landscape (As they are in the United States and Canada) this exhibit captures moments that flood back memories to many of us. Be sure to check it out!
