At a time when the world has witnessed dramatic and shocking events that have created an atmosphere of uncertainty and unease, this exhibition takes a universal and all-too-present theme and explores it through the work of international artists who set out to explore the essence of Paranoia as the deluded interpretation of events. Incorporating video, photography, performance, installation, drawing and digital technology, the exhibition includes artists from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
