Biennale of Sydney (Sydney, Australia)
As Australia's premier contemporary art festival, the Biennale of Sydney offers transformative thematic exhibitions across iconic city venues that provoke critical reflection, inviting you to explore global artistic innovation.
“I am producing this photographic document to encourage people to be brave enough to occupy space, brave enough to create without fear of being vilified ... To teach people about our history, to re-think what history is all about, to re-claim it for ourselves, to encourage people to use artistic tools such as cameras as weapons to fight back …forcing the viewer to question their desire to gaze at images of my black figure.
