The song that catalyzed this project was born out of Jadu’s experience of moving between the community she was born into and the community she has chosen. It explores navigating these seemingly disparate worlds and the tension that arises from desiring acceptance from both. Drawing on these concepts, the film unpacks how individuals perceive and change themselves based on real and imagined judgment from others. This negotiation is depicted through three thematic sections, which will be embodied on the runway: Vulnerability, Alienation & Dominance.

On August 15, 2021 the Taliban took control of Afghanistan and the lives of those across the country changed in the blink of an eye. On that day, women’s rights, advances and freedom were taken away, which included the right to play sport. Members from the Afghan women’s national football team were forced into hiding, burning their jerseys and burying their trophies. But with the help of their former national captain, Khalida Popal, they were able to flee the country. They have finally been reunited in Australia, after six long months.
Speaking out, they hope to still be recognised as the Afghan women’s national football team, continuing to raise awareness so that one day they can be with their loved ones and bring them to safety. To help continue their fight for justice and equality, a new @hummelsport Afghan national football jersey is available at www.landsholdsshoppen.dk/en/afghanistan, with 100% of profits generated from sales being donated to the team and their fight for equality.

In 2019, my colleagues and I were asked to document dozens of birds 🐦 🦢 🐧 around Melbourne over several months in order for Julian Opie to create these permanent public installations. Bird eye level, directly side on shots. The process of shooting these birds has changed my apathetic attitude towards these creatures to an appreciation. This project was much easier said than done, to say the least...

The Darling / Baaka River is the major tributary to the Murray-Darling River system – the largest system on the Australian continent.
French contemporary artist JR's multifaceted world-exclusive project for NGV Triennial, Homily to Country, draws into focus the complex issues of this river system as a consequence of intensive irrigation, climate change and drought. On 27 February 2021, a procession event featuring four 30m-long portrait photographs taken by the artist and carried by the portrait subjects themselves, including local farmers, orchardists and local Baakandji community members – made its way through the dry Menindee Lakes district in regional New South Wales to highlight the ecological decline of the Darling / Baaka River.
Some community members in the region are calling for a re-evaluation of the river policy and more sustainable irrigation practices, advocating for a new river management system based on ecological flows and Indigenous land management practices as a new benchmark to improve the health of the river.
