This is the first in a new series of exhibitions working with contemporary artists to help re-define our understanding of the diverse communities that now call the Northern Beaches home. Indonesian born artist Jumaadi, recently moved his Sydney studio to Brookvale, the industrial, and increasingly cultural, heartland of the Northern Beaches.
Jumaadi’s practice explores themes such as love, nature, belonging, migration, and displacement while frequently drawing on his own experiences as an immigrant living in Australia. His art is deeply rooted in his Indonesian heritage, and often incorporates traditional motifs and symbols in the works – demonstrating the power of cross-cultural collaboration and the ability of art to transcend borders and boundaries.
Exhibition Dates: 1st September – 8th October 2023
Exhibition Location: Manly Art Gallery and Museum, Sydney, NSW
