| "The artwork comprises a series of prints and a variety of texts including reflections from historical and contemporary writers that explore the silencing of the marginalised: from oppression of Indigenous Australians, to the exploitation of the English and Irish convicts, to the dehumanisation of asylum seekers, In this work the artists seek to represent the way in which minority groups have been and still are denied their right to a voice. This 'Australian way' sits uncomfortably with our popular self-image and diminishes the strength and validity of our democratic society." Sue Anderson and Gwen Harrison
