PUBLIC TALK: Artist's Talk 'East Timor and the Sea'
|
|
In this talk Maria Madeira discusses her art and its relationship to East Timor. Born in East Timor, Maria left in 1975 and spent five years in a refugee camp in Portugal before she and her family migrated to Australia in 1983. Settling in Perth, Maria pursued her love of art gaining a Bachelor of Visual Arts at Curtin University in 1991. Since East Timorese independence Maria has moved between Perth and East Timor, closely following events which are given expression in her art. Her installation in 'Picturing the Sea' references the politics of oil and gas reserves in the Timor Sea as the country struggles to achieve peace and self-determination.
'Picturing the Sea' is on display at the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery from 13 August to 4 October.
