We Are Sorry by Zhang Rei

[We Are Sorry by Zhang Rei]

Toby Chapman from 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art joins us in studio to talk about the Vertical Villages project, exploring the lives, experiences and perspectives of international students in Sydney. 4A’s shopfront has been turned into a lab, open studio, party-space and the hub of this research project, which will be realised in an exhibition in September.

Toby has also curated Zhang Rui’s One Year, a show that blends the politically charged with the mundane, through the blurred filters of Internet news and memes.
