Tutti Arts exhibition ‘The Story behind Shedding Light’ reveals the evolution of a two year intercultural collaboration between disabled artists and activists in South Australia and Indonesia who discovered common ground through an increasingly globalised disability culture.
The exhibition chronicles the process and outcomes of these relationships through an installation which combines a series of candid interviews, animations, and mixed media artworks. Unseen, unexpected and unapologetic, this work abandons stereotypes and claims a space for people with different perspectives.
Established in 2005, Tutti Visual Arts and Design is a dynamic arts program for young adults with intellectual and learning disabilities. The program provides a studio environment four days a week where artists are free to explore and engage in 2D, 3D and new media projects.
An Artist Talk will be held on Friday 25 September, 11.00am.
Presented by The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre and Tutti Arts.
Partners include Flinders University Centre for Asian Studies and The Australian Indonesian Association SA. Perspektif and SIGAB in Yogyakarta.
