Abdul Abdullah is an Australian multi-disciplinary artist. Describing himself as an ‘outsider amongst outsiders,’ his practice explores the complexities of identity, perception, and the experience of the ‘other.’ His work is particularly concerned with the tension between how identities are projected onto individuals and the reality of lived experience. Identifying as a Muslim and having both Malay/Indonesian and convict/settler Australian heritage, Abdullah navigates a precarious space within contemporary political and cultural discourse. He sees himself as an artist working on the peripheries—of a peripheral city, in a peripheral country—orbiting a world on the brink. His work has been the subject of political censorship, with public figures accusing him of challenging mainstream narratives of Australian culture.
