Tanks Arts Centre is proud to host the national launch of °South’s latest exhibition, PEACE.
Featuring work by Sean Flynn, Tim Page, Stephen Dupont, David Dare Parker, Jack Picone, Ben Bohane, Michael Coyne and Ashley Gilbertson, PEACE showcases a collection of images that provide a personal reflection of peace, captured amongst the environment of war. °South is a collective of dedicated and award-winning Australian documentary photographers who have covered conflicts from Vietnam in ‘65 to present day Afghanistan. PEACE challenged these photographers to probe their archives, finding new meaning in old images. There are no rainbows: these are images from the heart. Launch by Mayor of Cairns, Bob Manning.
