Portraiture 🤝 performance.
For Atong Atem, self-portraits are a way of exploring how gender, history, geography and social powers shape the way we see – and are seen.
Drawing on the visual language of South Sudanese political life, she reveals how clothing, gesture and performance can communicate authority.
In this series, three-piece suits are topped off by a cowboy hat: a borrowed symbol of Texan wealth and masculine power that made its way into South Sudanese political life after George W. Bush gifted one to the then-president of Sudan.
With these images, @atongatem asks not just what portraits reveal about a sitter – but how much we can see of the world around them.
See them in Passage: The Art of Atong Atem, on display at The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia – free to see until 14 June.

Suzanne Valadon didn’t paint to please.
A self-taught artist who learned her craft as a model for the likes of Berthe Morisot, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Valadon dared to paint female bodies not as they were expected to be seen – but as they were.
Her work immediately lacked the quality of over-sexualisation that was typical of nudes from the time, lending a privacy and intimacy to her paintings – rarely seen before.
Now that’s a different perspective.
See the difference when you visit Nude with drapery – on display on Level 2 of NGV International, free.

📸 What can a photograph carry across generations?
In ‘Surat’ – meaning ‘photograph’ in Dinka language – @AtongAtem explores the mythological potential of portraiture.
Noting that some of her relatives are only known to her through her family’s photographs, she uses her own body as a conduit for ancestral connection and exploring the beauty and resilience of her Dinka Bor culture.
From images to textiles – to the artist’s own name, given from her grandmother – Atem’s work reveals how stories of identity and belonging are passed down through generations.
See these works on display in Passage: The Art of Atong Atem, open daily at NGV Australia – free.

Would you wear these boots?
Created by visionary duo @matieresfecales for NGV Triennial 2020, these sculptural skin heel boots take footwear to another level.
Moulded out of hyper-realistic silicone 'skin' complete with toes, ankles, knees and leg muscles, the boots are grafted to Perspex platforms for a look that’s equally striking and surreal.
Designed to slip over your own legs like a second skin, they embody their manifesto: ‘be whoever you want to be and live freely’.
🦵Send this to someone who could handle these heels…
