LYNDELL BROWN/CHARLES GREEN and GUAN WEI are in an exhibition, Collaborative Witness: Artists' reponses to the plight of the asylum seeker and refugee at the UQ Art Museum, Brisbane, Queensland.

Through multiple styles and materials, artists challenge one-dimensional portrayals and become not only witnesses, but also collaborators on the complex story of those seeking asylum'. Curators Dr Prue Ahrens and Michele Helmrich.

'Sensationalised media portrayals of birth, from the 'real life' stories of women and families to the fictionalised accounts of birthing displayed in film or in television (often focusing on themes of emergency, of pain and suffering, of panic), can trivialise birth through a lack of depth and understanding.'
Curators Tilly Morris and Jasmine Salomon
