Zanny Begg: The Beehive | Sydney Festival
Part of Sydney Festival’s eclectic line up, head on over to UNSW Galleries in Paddington for artist Zanny Begg’s ‘The Beehive’. Assembled by randomising software lasting up to 33 minutes, this innovative fiction and documentary video installation is weaving an unexpected mix of themes: cold case true crime, gentrification and corruption. It follows the curious 1975 disappearance of the crusading journalist, heiress and anti-development campaigner, Juanita Nielsen.
This FREE event is a must-see.
