Event overview
The Department of Art Public Talks Programme Spring 2017 welcomes Somali Australia-based artist Hamishi Farah.
Hamishi Farah b.1991 is a Somali artist living in Australia. He practices painting, poetry, and other media. In early 2016 Hamishi was denied entry & jailed at the US border under ambiguous new terror laws. Shortly after returning to Australia he retired from Australian art. States have edges, like words. Infants begin to see by noticing the edge of things. How do they know an edge is an edge? By passionately wanting it not to be. When not examining contemporary white lack through the edgelessnesses of Niggadom & statelessness, he paints.
Hamishi Farah and Aria Dean's exhibition ‘White ppl think I’m radical’ is showing at Arcadia Missa until 29th April 2017. http://www.arcadiamissa.com
