The Resilient Landscape presents found objects, video and photo media artworks by Lebanese and Australian artists which explore violent conflict and simmering tensions in both the Middle East and on Sydney’s suburban beaches. Curators Phillip George, David McNeill and Khaled Sabsabi use confrontational artworks to draw parallels between Lebanon and Australia.
