Acclaimed international art exhibition ‘On Sharks & Humanity’ came to Sydney this summer with a strong environmental message.


On Sharks & Humanity includes large-scale indoor and outdoor installations, photography, paintings, drawings, performance, poetry, video and sculptures by artists from China, Singapore, Germany, United States and Australia.

Conceived by Chinese arts organisation Parkview Arts Action and curated by the internationally renowned curator Huang Du, the environmentally-focused exhibition addresses the issues of shark protection, ocean conservation and the harmful demands of shark fin products through a variety of art forms.

The Australian National Maritime Museum welcomed the internationally-acclaimed contemporary art exhibition On Sharks & Humanity, featuring works by more than 30 artists from China and around the world – all united by the need to protect sharks. This exhibition opened on 11 December 2018.
