‘Channels Festival: International Biennial of Video Art’ unites artists from Australia and abroad in a burst of creative reflection about our relationships with each other, with culture and society more broadly. Exhibitions, new commissions, artist residencies, film screenings, performances and talks are on across Melbourne venues until 15 September.
