In the face of Creative Australia’s decision to withdraw our appointment, we remain committed to bringing this important project to the world stage at the 61st Venice Biennale in 2026.
The past weeks have been profoundly challenging for us personally and professionally. However, the overwhelming support from the arts community, colleagues, and the public has reinforced the fundamental role of artists in shaping discourse and pushing boundaries.
This project is about art, unity, and dialogue—a vision that challenges, inspires, and reflects the complexities of our world. We are determined to see it realised and need your support to make it happen.
By supporting our commitment to present at the Venice Biennale, you are advocating for artistic freedom, and the capacity of artistic voices to strengthen cultural exchange.
Project Update 7 April 2024
Thanks to the generosity of 864 donors we have reached a total of $82,000 over the weekend.
This is enough for Khaled to commence work on the creation of the exhibition. We could not have done this without the kindness of the arts community and the generosity of the public.
For those who have not had the chance to support the project, please note that this is only a pause in fundraising. We will relaunch soon for the next stage of development and invite you to contribute.
We will continue to provide monthly updates as this project develops.
