CIFA: A Legacy of Cultural Exchange in Camden

The Camden International Friendship Association (CIFA), established in 1993, facilitated cultural exchanges between Camden, Australia, and Shonan, Japan, transforming many students' lives. Although exchanges thrived for years, waning interest led to CIFA's decline by 2024. Despite this, some artworks from the exchanges remain on display at the Alan Baker Art Gallery.
