Desperate Measures: Art, Politics and Performance in Freo

Many people consider Fremantle a creative and vibrant place, and there is a reason for that…

The Desperate Measures: Art, Politics and Performance in Freo 1977-1985 exhibition charts the cultural shift that occurred in Fremantle after 1975, when the city was an affordable place to live, attracting a unique mix of students, artists, performers and activists; creating a vibrant community that engaged with wider political issues.

Desperate Measures curator Jo Darbyshire speaks with Bec Bowman for Artbeat ahead of the exhibition opening.

The exhibition runs from 9 November 2024 until 27 January 2025 at Fremantle Arts Centre.
