Sari is a deeply intimate journey into the traditions, self-expression and expansive nature of the Sari garment, by Australian-Indian artist Anjum Olmo. This exhibition is a reclamation of the artist’s Indian heritage, weaving together nostalgia and cultural identity with her connection to the beautiful Blue Mountains. (Written by Curator Hayley Zena Poynton)
Olmo’s practice considers the ever-changing nature of maintaining equilibrium between her South Asian and Australian cultural identities. Sari celebrates the personal journey the artist has embarked on, to cultivate a wholistic identity that respects both past and present.
