JANET LAURENCE's work is included in the upcoming exhibition at 45 Downstairs, All We Can’t See: Illustrating the Nauru Files.
The exhibition depicts individual interpretations of the leaked Nauru files exposed by The Guardian in 2016, illuminating the stark human cost of Australia’s policies of offshore detention.
The Nauru Files are Australian stories. They are the consequence of Australian government policies, and they are shaping our national identity.
The exhibition opens 31 July and continues until 11 August, 2018.
