Join Dr Siobhan Campbell, curator and scholar of Indonesian art and textiles, as she discusses the historical artefacts in Tales of Land and Sea, linking these with Jumaadi’s practice and the Sangkuriang artist prints by Arthur Boyd and Indra Deigan.
As the joint lender of the artefacts on display, together with exhibiting artist Jumaadi, Dr Campbell will share her personal insights into the history of the Balinese painting tradition, a style of painting originating from the village of Kamasan in Bali, and the collective heritage between Balinese paintings and the shadow puppet theatre.

Tales of Land and Sea
This event is part of Bundanon’s program of live events for current exhibition Tales of Land and Sea.
Tales of Land and Sea brings together three distinct projects exploring storytelling, mythological narratives, migration and the diasporic experience. Drawing from both personal narratives and Eastern mythologies, each project highlights age-old themes of longing, displacement, cultural connection and belonging.
