Hear My Voice – Joseph Feil
Hear My Voice
The photographs in Hear My Voice are part of a series that highlight the unresolved political issues of a new generation. These include immigration, detention and asylum(Tampa); erosion of rights (IR law changes); terrorism and the denial of personal liberty (David Hicks); and the place of Indigenous Australians (Camp Sovereignty).
For me, each of these issues is a rallying point for underlying changes in the fabric of Australia. These images serve to remind us that our country and the morals it stands for are changing. The Australia I grew up in felt neutral, proudly humanitarian and socially responsible.
The images in Hear My Voice seek to serve as a permanent voice for those who believe that Australia has taken the wrong road, the destination still to be revealed and filled with uncertainty.
