Arsim Memishi's Liria occupies the humble furnishing typical of migrant dwelling with dreams of an Albanian settlement, dense and jutting, complemented by an awareness of the difficulties experienced under an occasionally repressive system. Formed around the same time as the Australian literary renaissance in the 1890s, Albanian history looks back to the ancient civilization of Illyria and its reputed poet, Homer. Albanian translation:
Cfar do te ndodhte ne qofte se Australin do ta kishte konolizuar dikush tjeter?
"Kthyesja e dheut" eshte nje ekspozite e cila i pergjigjet kesaj pyetjeje nepermjet punimeve te 11 artizaneve, prinderit e te cileve nuk erdhen ne Australi nga vendet angleze. Keto objekte tregojne llojin e veprave qe mund te ishin krijuar ketu po qe se ky vend do te ishte kolonizuar prej prinderve te tyre.
