The actor is also an environmental and indigenous activist. He delivered a thoughtful speech about Peace as a construct.
The exhibition PEACE features work by the eight distinguished photojournalists in the Collective:
Ben Bohane, Michael Coyne, Stephen Dupont, Sean Flynn, Ashley Gilbertson, Tim Page, David Dare Parker and Jack Picone.
Ben Bohane made a rare visit to Melbourne. He and Michael Coyne were present at the launch and talked about their respective images, of finding and documenting a moment of peace even in a conflict zone.
