ON THE SLY

As a town on the periphery of society, both literally and metaphorically, Dubbo has become home to battlers, transients, hard-luck stories and dreams of new beginnings, and while many have triumphed, others through necessity or choice have chosen to follow a darker path. On The Sly will chart the story of three women who transgressed, folling a path that utlimately lead to robbery, drug dealing, prostitution, gang warfare and murder. On The Sly examines the lives of Kate Leigh, Jean Lee and Ruby Green and seeks to understand their lives and chioices, and as such understand how those at the periphery of acceptable society have a role to play in the story of the nation.

On The Sly is curated by Jessica Moore.
