Exile Art Down Under

This is a great article about exiled Chinese artists living and working in Australia that came out a week or so ago , but is worth a read if you haven't seen it yet:

Nearly 15 years after the massacre, in which hundreds, perhaps thousands, were killed, the works of these exiles have given Australian art an Asian flavor.

"It was an incredible cultural coup for Australia to get the sort of intellectual input that New York got with the Second World War," said Sydney art gallery-owner Ray Hughes.

I think it's worth mentioning that the article is from Reuters, which seems to pull together really incredible stories from its international correspondents. Like this one, "Desperate Afghan Women Opt For Fiery Suicides." Phenomenal.
