Fatmi takes part in a group exhibition titled A Journey to Freedom, guest curated byBarbara Polla together with Olivier Varenne and Mary Knights, opening at the Tasmanian Museum & Art Gallery between 8 June until 29 July, 2018. .
A Journey to Freedom explores issues relating to incarceration from a range of different cultural and historical perspectives: from Tasmania’s dark convict past; to ‘doing time’ in the notorious “Pink Palace” Risdon Prison; and the experience of refugees held in camps and detention centres in Australia and beyond.
The exhibition brings together new and recent works by contemporary national and international artists working across installation, sculpture, video, photography and virtual reality with works to be presented across the museum’s temporary galleries and transitional spaces.
