Story and art by Safdar Ahmed.
Safdar Ahmed visited Sydney's Villawood Immigration Detention Centre in 2011. He brought pencils and sketchwith him and began drawing with the detainees. Weaving journalism, history, and autobiography, Still Alive is an intensely personal indictment of Australia's refugee detention policies and procedures, which are not unlike those in many Western nations. It is also a searching reflection on the redemppower of art. (And death metal.)
