You See Monsters screening
19 April 2018
Join Waqt al-tagheer: Time of change artist Abdul Abdullah and South Australian artist and curator Haneen Martin for a screening of the recent ABC documentary You See Monsters: a film about the power of art to challenge assumptions, subvert racism and change the way we view the world.Featuring members of the eleven collective, this acclaimed film examines how a new generation of Muslim Australian artists are fighting back using art to assert their own agency in the face of anti-Islamic bigotry. Combining political critique with in-depth arts journalism, You See Monsters cuts through the fearful rhetoric to speak directly with the artists who are shifting the conversation. The screening will be followed by an insightful conversation between Abdullah and Martin with time for audience questions.
“This documentary hands the microphone to artists of all kinds of ethnicities who identify as Muslim… great TV documentary-making.” – The Guardian
