Curtin arts graduate and multi-disciplinary artist Abdul Abdullah’s intricate embroideries, ‘Watched but not seen’ and ‘Surveilled’ explore the differing perception of a person’s identity and their lived reality. 🎓🎨   Currently on display for the @portraitau’s newest exhibition, ‘PORTRAIT23: Identity’, Abdul’s work features alongside 23 Australian artists and collectives who were invited to create new works that expand on and transcend notions of portraiture.   Inspired by Malay folklore, Abdul’s two visions of the weretiger, ‘Watched but not seen’ and ‘Surveilled’ are concerned with the experience of the ‘other’, and the difference between the perception of a person’s identity and the reality of their lived actions and beliefs.   Drawing from his own experience as a Muslim growing up in Australia, the tapestries explore the perception and projection of monstrosity, on a group of people who would otherwise be identical to yourself, and how this can influence the way we engage with different groups within our society.   Abdul’s advice for young aspiring artists is to be the audience as much or more than being the artist.   “Travel if you can, understand that uni is not the end but rather the prologue, and remember, the work you make in class is important but doesn’t define you, so keep growing.”   The artwork has been provided courtesy of the artist and @yavuzgallery. 📸: Mark Mohell.   View more of Abdul’s work in #CurtinCommons via the link in bio. 👆   #CurtinUniversity #Portrait23 #NationalPortraitGallery #Canberra #ArtExhibition #Portraiture #Museum #Culture #Identity #Embroidery #ContemporaryArt #MalayFolklore #Muslim

We were thrilled to celebrate three outstanding Curtin researchers who were awarded Channel 7 Telethon Trust grants for 2022 at the @telethon7 Giving Ceremony Breakfast last Friday. 👏 The SCHOOL-KONTAKT program led by Professor Sonya Girdler, Australasia’s first Solar Community Hub in the Kimberley led by Professor Christina Pollard and Kerry Stokes Chair in Child Health Research Professor Peter Gething were all acknowledged for the incredible work they do to deliver life-changing outcomes for WA children. These grants will help empower autistic kids to practise and apply their social skills at high school and give children living in underserved Indigenous communities access to digital technologies to uplift health and education outcomes. We would like to thank the kindness and generosity of West Australians and the Channel 7 Telethon Trust for supporting our researchers' vital work in transforming the lives of children across our state and beyond! 💛 #CurtinUniversity #CurtinResearch #Telethon7 #WAkids #CommunitySupport#ActofKindness #AutismResearch #SolarLearningHub #ChildHealthResearch #ChildHealth #WAHealth #WesternAustralia #Children

Curtin’s Director, Gender Equity and Inclusion Dr Samantha Owen, is challenging institutional norms that stand in the way of gender equity through research. ⚖️📖   To help generate more visibility for gender research, Dr Owen helped establish and now serves as the Academic Lead for Curtin’s Gender Research Network (GRN). The GRN brings together over 200 researchers across the five Curtin campuses working on best practices around gender research and gender equity policy and practice within the University and in the greater community.   As International Women’s Day comes to a close, Dr Owen reminds us that to create a gender equal future, we must embed inclusion in the work we do year-round.   Read more about Dr Owen’s background and participation in the social justice movement via the #IWD link in bio.👆   #CurtinUniversity #CurtinAlumni #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2023 #GivingBack #SocialChange #SocialJustice #Leadership #GenderEquity #Diversity #WomenLeaders #Australia #FemaleLeaders
