One night in 1965, the father of Indonesian-born artist Dadang Christanto was taken by force and the family home burned to the ground. Christanto’s father’s fate remains unknown – but, like so many, he is assumed dead. Since Christanto’s arrival in Australia in 1999, his practice has been informed by the numerous human-rights violations that plagued the 20th century and have continued into the current century.

‘Nineteen Sixty-Five: Dadang Christanto’ brings together a powerful and poignant collection of work from this internationally significant artist, offering a moving memorial to victims of mass violence, and an opportunity to reflect on and perhaps heal from an often-painful past. Entry is free.
