If we can’t see it, we can’t feel it. If we can’t feel it, we can’t know it. If we don’t know it nothing changes, and the suffering goes on. The visual arts have a unique opportunity to reveal the many injustices that prevent people and the planet from flourishing.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
In May, 2014, the Nave Gallery marked its 10 year anniversary at The Clarendon Hill Presbyterian Church. Their support through the years has allowed the Nave to show and support the work of hundreds of artists, while reinforcing our mutual commitment to our strengthening our community through art activism. Truth Telling: Art in Search of Social Justice, is a celebration of this partnership and an assertion that art is a vehicle through which conversations on social change can be held, compelling people to action.
