Join us for a listening session with Rahel Stephanie exploring the themes from Murni’s work between tracks and how they resonate across time, identity, and lived experience.
This season, we are presenting Feels Strangely Good, Ya?- the first international institutional solo exhibition of the late Balinese artist I Gusti Ayu Kadek Murniasih “Murni”.
Join us for a listening session with Rahel Stephanie weaving together music, personal storytelling, and cultural context, exploring the themes of Murni’s work between tracks and how they resonate across time, identity, and lived experience.Murni (1966 – 2006, Bali) was a prolific and uncompromising artist whose vivid and acutely personal works emerged as an exploration of her subconsciousness, dreams and psyche, acting as a form of therapy or diary. Largely self-taught, Murni gained recognition in the 1990s for her striking depictions of female sexuality, addressing themes of pleasure, sex, power dynamics, trauma, and desire with humour, absurdity and unflinching honesty. Murni's fearless commitment to self-expression has cemented her reputation as one of the most transgressive and vital contemporary figures in Southeast Asian art, whose work continues to inspire others.
