Lyndell Brown & Charles Green were recently invited to present their artworks in a symposium featuring nine acclaimed artists from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda, and Timor-Leste—countries that have faced unimaginable horrors yet demonstrate the resilience of the human spirit through art.
At Curtin University last month they joined their peers in the ‘Art of Peace’ Symposium, in a two-day event exploring the transformative power of art in post-conflict societies. This symposium accompanies the exhibition Art of Peace: Art After War at the Art Gallery of Western Australia, which runs until 29 June 2025.
In 2007, Brown & Green were Australia’s Official War Artists, deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq. Their artworks record the activities and experiences of the Australian troops. They are contemplative works that reveal new and strange configurations of landscape, culture, and technology.
