Event Description
- Full Description:
- Before the official opening of the exhibition ‘Conflict: Contemporary responses to war’, please join artists eX de Medici, Gordon Hookey, Fatima Killeen,and Baden Pailthorpe in conversation with curator Samantha Littley.
‘Conflict: Contemporary responses to war’, reflects on the world altering events of September 11 2001, and explores art made around the theme of war in the years since. The exhibition takes a wide-ranging view, considering conflict on a global scale, and more localised struggles. It addresses, for instance, the historical conflicts that accompanied colonisation, and continue to affect present generations. Memorials and commemoration, and the machinery and technology of war are also examined.
Free. All welcome.
