Join the artists and curator to hear more about The Disquiet and the new work it has inspired
The Disquiet presents newly commissioned artworks by South Australian artists Bin Bai, Stephanie Doddridge, Sue Kneebone, Olga Sankey and Truc Truong and is curated by Suzanne Close.
These artists drew inspiration from FUMA’s collection of political posters focusing on the works of the Progressive Art Movement (PAM) – a multi-arts group established at Flinders University in the 1970s. Upholding Marxist-Leninist ideologies, PAM artists fiercely opposed American imperialism and advocated for the struggles of the working class.
Drawing from this radical tradition, the new commissions tackle pressing 21st-century concerns such as inequality, environmental degradation, surveillance, misinformation, consumer culture and the enduring legacies of colonisation.
The Disquiet is a Flinders University Museum of Art exhibition presented in partnership with Guildhouse and supported by Arts South Australia.
