From major economic crisis, raging wars, pollution and climate change through to religious prejudice and racism, ‘Giving Voice: The Art of Dissent’ brings global distress into the spotlight. The exhibition includes sculpture, painting, printmaking and film by eight contemporary Australian artists compelled to cast their views on pressing social, political and environmental concerns.
Curated by Dr Yvonne Rees-Pagh, the exhibition includes work by Cigdem Aydemir (NSW), James Barker (TAS), Richard Bell (QLD), Pat Hoffie (QLD), Locust Jones (NSW), Megan Keating (TAS), Michael Reed (NZ) and Khaled Sabsabi (NSW). ‘Giving Voice: The Art of Dissent’ is a Salamanca Arts Centre exhibition, toured by Contemporary Art Tasmania.
