Farhad Bandesh While our two community art spaces are currently closed, we are heartened that Northsiders with Refugees approached us to host an online art exhibition for Farhad Bandesh – musician, visual artist, and at present a refugee in detention. This exhibition is now open on our Facebook page. Click the link to view photo album: Farhad Bandesh. Artist. Musician. Detained Refugee. Farhad Bandesh sought asylum in 2013 and spent almost seven years on Manus Island before being medically evacuated to Australia last year. A musician and instrument maker in his native Kurdistan, Farhad has been writing songs and creating visual art while detained as a means of spiritual escape. During this time he has produced more than 100 artworks, some of which are currently on display in our online exhibition on Facebook. |
