Kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua I walk backwards into the future with my eyes fixed on my past گذشته چراغ راه آینده است Our past is the light that shows us our future path anti-time is a two-person show bringing together the work of Tyson Campbell and Selina Ershadi.
Exploring the complicated and at times contradictory feelings that are stirred up when utilising one’s own personal and collective histories and fissures for art production, anti-time resists clearly deduced narratives and resolutions and instead resides in a place of ambivalence and unease.
