‘Breathe’ Exhibition To Open In The ValleyThousands of Australians die each year from diseases caused by inhaling asbestos. By Latrobe City Council - 26th August 2009 - Back to News In a cruel irony, what was once hailed as a ‘wonder fibre’, it is now the undoing of many who breathe it in.
‘Breathe’, a new exhibition at Latrobe Regional Gallery by photographer Christopher Ireland, reveals portraits of local women who have lost their husbands to asbestos-related diseases.
Each powerful image tells a story about how these women have looked for answers, struggled to cope and ultimately grieved their loss.
‘Breathe’ will be officially opened at the Latrobe Regional Gallery on Friday 4 September at 6pm and will continue until Sunday 4 October 2009.
The exhibition is supported by GARDS (Gippsland Asbestos Related Disease Support), and Slater & Gordon Lawyers.
