Who Is The Right To Know

November 7-24

More and more the politics of the Western world are being questioned and we ask ourselves who has the right to knowledge, is there a right and wrong when it comes to cultural values and social development? From a post-colonial perspective there needs to be a radical change that connects us to our past, our environment and our autonomy. By creating a place for the viewer to collaborate with the work through text, drawing and stencils the audience has a hand in the process of thought and ideas that they wish to express and be heard.

about GLW - the need for alternative media

In these days of growing media concentration, Green Left Weekly is a proudly independent voice committed to human and civil rights, global peace and environmental sustainability, democracy and equality. By printing the news and ideas the mainstream media won't, Green Left Weekly exposes the lies and distortions of the power brokers and helps us to better understand the world around us.

Green Left Weekly, launched in 1990 by progressive activists to present the views excluded by the big business media, is now Australia's leading source of local, national and international news, analysis, and discussion and debate to strengthen the anti-capitalist movements.
