Over the past two decades, Carl Gopalkrishnan's artwork has garnered international recognition for his ability to forge meaningful connections between art & literature and the complex dynamics driving international law, intervention and global conflict.

A repeat performance proves that The Lion, truly, Never Sleeps
An amazing night with a repeat walking performance of The Lion Never Sleeps by Noamie Huttner-Koros at The Blue Roome theatre (well, we started walking from there) for which I was interviewed in 2019 for her 2019/20 season. It tells stories of Perth's LGBTIQ community during the AIDs crisis in the early to mid 1980s, part of the largely undocumented and overlooked history of Western Australia that wasn't considered 'acceptable' history for decades.
Theatre: In ‘The Lion Never Sleeps’ I shared my personal stories from the AIDS crisis in the 1980s
I was invited to be a part of an inspiring interview experience for a new street-theatre oral history called The Lion Never Sleeps. Thanks to Noemie the director and creator who made this incredible audio journey that takes the audience on a live walk through the inner-city streets of Northbridge in Perth, Western Australia. They have re-created the stories of the people who were there (like me), and how we survived the AIDS Crisis in the 1980s.

Featured Artist: I was interviewed for American progressive Jewish magazine Tikkun Daily in July 2011, USA. Great interview.
Tikkun Daily ( Tikkun Magazine's daily blog) interviewed me about my art and, as always with good interviews, made me think better about my painting and how (and why) I go about what I do.
