Monash University’s Museum Of Art will proceed with a show featuring controversial artist Khaled Sabsabi that it had postponed, with advocacy from students at its Indonesian and Malaysian campuses a factor in the decision.

The Melbourne institution in March postponed Flat Earth, a show curated by Sydney-based publishing collective Stolon Press and including works by Sabsabi, the Sydney-based Muslim artist whose contract to represent Australia at 2026’s Venice Biennale was rescinded by federal arts body Creative Australia, after the uncovering of early works depicting terrorism.
