Loving Life
Unfortunately, we are not going to see an Australian pavilion at the 2026 Venice Biennale. Disappointing for everyone, but that is what happens when you mix politics with art. The choice of artist this year was Khaled Sabsabi (website), A Lebanese Australian that came to Australian during the civil war in Lebanon. Khaled started outy […]
Continue ReadingI don’t think that interest rates or cost of living is Australia’s greatest problem at the moment. I think it the minorities move to the far right. We don’t just see it here, but worldwide. It is the anti-Semitic and Islamophobic behaviours of the population. I don’t particularly understand why it has come to this. […]
