22nd Biennale of Sydney (2020) Exhibition Report

The urgent states of our contemporary lives are laden with unresolved past anxieties and hidden layers of the supernatural. NIRIN exposed this, demonstrating that artists and creatives have the power to resolve, heal, dismember and imagine futures of transformation for re-setting the world. Optimism from chaos drove artists in NIRIN to resolve the often hidden or ignored urgency surrounding contemporary life. Sovereignty is at the centre of these actions, and it shines a light on environments in shadow.
