Don’t deny us development

This multi-channel work collates views from several Australian’s, each raising a challenge, story or personal experience in their understanding of wealth and poverty and their struggle with issues of global inequality.

Central to the work is the voice of rural Zambian farmers, who, through song and dance, call for the opportunity to develop their own communities.

The messages are communicated via community waste on analogue television monitors reclaimed from curb sides during local council rubbish collections in Sydney, Australia. Each channel plays concurrently on a loop with headphones.
