BEYOND THE
LAST SKY
Contemporary Palestinian Photography and Video
1 September– 18 November 2012
Encouraging audiences to question and engage, Beyond the Last Sky investigates the subversive potential of humour to challenge representational assumptions and clichés.
The exhibition offers opportunities for audiences to gain new insight into the depth and breadth of Palestinian experience, inviting them to look at Palestine from an unconventional, playful and engaging perspective.
Beyond the Last Sky has been created in partnership between the Australian Centre for Photography and the National Institute for Experimental Arts (NIEA), College of Fine Arts (COFA), the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and is supported by Cultural Media.
