The Dying Darling

by Michael Pospischil and Sarah Moles in partnership with Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery

The human faces of the water debate

This profoundly moving portrait exhibition captures the human face of the ongoing debate over Queensland’s most precious resource: water.

Striking black and white charcoal life-drawings in this exhibition focus on the struggle-worn faces of the everyday people who have been affected by the dying Darling River Basin.

Created by Michael Pospischil and writer Sarah Moles as they travelled the network of rivers stretching from South West Queensland to New South Wales, The Dying Darling reveals a community determined not to give up the fight to save the country they call home. At once heartbreaking and uplifting, this exhibition and accompanying book will change your perception of regional Australian conservation.
