NEW EPISODE!!!! with drumroll.........the incredible @abdul_abdullah. Yeah!!!!
.
We are so excited to share this episode with you. Abdul is an absolute legend, down to earth, and extremely talented, we had a wonderful chat about his beginnings, to where he’s at now!
.
@abdul_abdullah is one of Australia's leading artists and we were lucky enough to meet and interview him at his studio in St. Leonards, shortly before he moves to a studio in Bangkok, Thailand.
.
'Abdul Abdullah is an Australian multi-disciplinary artist. As a self-described ‘outsider amongst outsiders’ with a post-9/11 mindset, his practice is primarily concerned with the experience of the ‘other’. Abdullah’s projects have engaged with different marginalized minority groups and he is particularly interested in the disjuncture between perception/projection of identity and the reality of lived experience. Identifying as a Muslim and having both Malay/Indonesian and convict/settler Australian heritage, Abdullah occupies a precarious space in the political discourse that puts him at odds with popular definitions. He sees himself as an artist working in the peripheries of a peripheral city, in a peripheral country, orbiting a world on the brink. His work has been censored by politicians who have accused him of attacking Australian culture, and once a member of the Christian Democratic party wrote that he wants to “convert young Australians” and that he “worships a moon god”.'
.
Abdul is represented at Yavuz Gallery, Sydney, and internationally.
Thanks, Abdul for your time, we really appreciate it.
