Principal speaker
Nur Shkembi
Join us on the opening day of 'Destiny Disrupted' for an exhibition tour with guest curator Nur Shkembi. Learn how, through the mediums of painting, sculpture, photography, poetry and video installation, these artists share knowledge and understanding, opening new narratives for our future.
In 'Destiny Disrupted', eleven Australia-based artists foreground the power of storytelling to convey personal histories and explore social, ethnic, spiritual, and political contexts. Text and counter-narratives in these works of art strategically undermine media messages and racism. These artists also demonstrate how the reframing of events through visual art - referencing literature, spirituality or mythologies - can offer alternate ways in which to understand the present. The concept of the artist as witness, agitator, and social agent is recurrent across 'Destiny Disrupted'. Through the mediums of painting, sculpture, photography, poetry and video installation, these artists share knowledge and understanding, opening new narratives for our future.
