A poetic graphic novella by Joshua Santospirito about the experience of migration and what it means to pull up your roots from one place on the other side of the world ... and start weaving them into the new world.
Joshua follows the story of his grandfather as he slowly builds his life from a working child in the streets of Melbourne to the King of Flowers on Flinders Street.
Swallows Part One was shortlisted for The Ledger Awards in 2016 and was the subject of a major exhibition at the Immigration Museum in Melbourne in 2016.
Part Two is scheduled to be published in 2019 by San Kessto Publications in Tasmania.
