Wyndham City Council with support from Creative Victoria organised a photography exhibition 'Same/Different' from 20 October to 15 November 2018.

One of the Bangladeshi expatriate in Melbourne Imran Abul Kashem presented his pictures in this exhibition.

SAME/DIFFERENT is a photographic investigation into the cultural habits of new and old Australians as revealed by idols attached to their rear-view mirrors. Over the course of three years, Imran secretly documented the trinkets, observed in vehicles around Wyndham City hanging from mirrors or sitting on the dashboard.

Imran said, "each object has its own character and revealed something of the driver whether it was religious beliefs, nationalism, sporting affiliation or even move preferences. This series of photographs capture these expressions of identity and becomes a window to view individualism and commonalities. "
