The Force of Forgetting
Date
19 March 2011 - 23 April 2011
Place
Lismore Regional Art Gallery, Lismore, NSW
Description

The Force of Forgetting: 'From the beginning of the history of Afghanistan, the Hazara people have been persecuted and massacred and have been living under sectarian, ethnic oppressive regimes. ...The force of forgetting doesn’t mean to forget a history of pain, but the inability to express that memory. For this we need a silent artistic language to speak about these suppressed memories.’ Khadim Ali, Karachi, 2011
