About the exhibition:

The Sovereign Forest initiates a creative response to our understanding of crime, politics, human rights and ecology. The validity of poetry as evidence in a trial, the discourse on seeing, on compassion, justice and the determination of the self - all come together in a constellation of films, texts, books, photographs, seeds and processes. More info here.

About the artist: 

Amar Kanwar's films and multi-media works explore the politics of power, violence and justice. His multi-layered installations originate in narratives often drawn from zones of conflict and are characterised by a poetic cinematic vocabulary that open up multiple layers of experience and comprehension. Full bio here.
