The Unquiet World, opening on May 27 at ACCA, is a new exhibition of art from the world’s trouble spots. International artists reflect upon current and past disasters created by human intervention, and sometimes nature, to seek a sense of understanding during these unsettled times. Artists from Afghanistan to Belfast, the USA to Pakistan, from Australia to the world and back, deliver profound and moving, and sometimes ironic insights on pressing contemporary issues.
