Tampa
by Mireille Astore
“Tampa” is a sculpture and performance about the plight of recent refugees in Australia. It references the Tampa incident where refugees fleeing wars and persecution in a small leaking boat were intercepted by the Australian Army following their rescue by the Norwegian ship "Tampa". The refugees were then redirected and detained in Nauru. The performance and sculpture took place from 30 October to 16 November 2003 as part of the annual International exhibition and event Sculpture by the Sea at Bondi, Sydney.

Tabou.. Tabou.. Tabouleh
by Amal Saade
"During this performance I chose to show a painting I had made at the beginning of my artistic activity in 1989 in Rio de Janeiro. This painting is a scream, the expressin of a rage hardly contained. A recent piece of work accompanies this painting, a piece of work that is more staid, more thoughtout, a base/holder containing a neon-sign saying in Arabic 'Ana Loubnan' (I am Lebanon)."
