Working across mediums, borders, cultures, and disciplines, Khaled Sabsabi explores the complexities of place, identity, displacement, and ideological differences associated with migrant experiences and marginalisation to promote cultural awareness and acceptance.

A Self Portrait is the biggest survey exhibition of Sabsabi’s work to date and features a new commission as well as several works not previously exhibited.

Sabsabi, who first exhibited at PICA in the Hatched: National Graduate Show 2005 exhibition, has come full circle with this mid-career select survey that follows his recent acclaim at the 21st Biennale of Sydney and the 2018 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art.
