The self-portrait is perhaps the most ubiquitous image of the modern era, but how do contemporary artists use the portrait, not just to reflect themselves or their subject, but to shift our understanding of who we are and who we can be?Atong Atem takes us into her practice of self-portraiture, exploring how the history of beautification has inspired her images, and why a love for interior design has been an important influence.And acclaimed contemporary artist Joan Ross explains why fluorescent yellow became central to her work, and how she is reframing the colonial context of the portrait.Those trees came back to me in my dreams is on at the National Portrait Gallery until February 2025

"I'm a black woman in the world. Every day when I step outside of my door, I can't be invisible."  From Tate Modern to the National Gallery of Victoria, Atong Atem has captured the eye of curators, critics and collectors alike as an artist who creates beautifully crafted images that explore family, migration and her South Sudanese heritage. Her work explores the inherent intimacy of portraiture and photography as well as the role photographers take as story tellers, interrogating photography as a framework for looking at the world and positioning people in it, inviting the viewer to look at them through a surreal and constructed lens. In this episode, anthropologist and curator Pedram Khosronejad investigates the artist's history, inspiration and projects to come. A transcript of this conversation is available HERE, thanks to the Australian Arts Channel Atong's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atongatem/ MARS Gallery catalogue: https://marsgallery.com.au/atong-atem/

Yukultji Napangati grew up with no contact with the outside world. Just her and her family, living on a shimmery salt lake. She learned how to live on Country, how to find food, water, and shelter. She was a particularly great hunter. When she turned 14, everything changed. She saw her first other humans, and saw a car for the first time. She had been brought to live with other people from her mob, and here she found out she was really good at something else too, painting. It used to be men's only business, but by the time Yukultji picked up her first paintbrush, it was something women in her community would do too. Her stroke was unique. It was special. It made her work shimmer just like the salt lake she grew up on. And her paintings now hang on the walls of some of the most famous people in the world. Narrated by artist Atong Atem.

They say the personal is political – that our own intimate experiences can't help but inform larger social structures. The same is true in the stunning photographic work of visual artist Atong Atem, whose hyper-saturated images are at once joyous, traditional, surreal and deeply connected to her familial roots in South Sudan.  Atong Atem talks art, politics and family with Good Weekend editor Katrina Strickland on the latest episode of Good Weekend Talks. Atem is the inaugural recipient of the $80,000 La Prairie Art Award. It involves the acquisition by the Art Gallery of NSW of a large four-panel photographic self-portrait by Atem, and a residency at Art Basel in Switzerland, where the La Prairie skincare company is based, and where Atem will head later this month.

How important is it to make yourself and others visible? What can a photograph achieve, and what is the power of the photographer? Tai Snaith and Atong Atem discuss all the different aspects of Atong’s identity and how making sense of them informs her artwork. Atong explains what it is like to grow up ‘between cultures’ as a South Sudanese person in Australia and the liminality that exists as part of that. Atong openly addresses the complex nature of racism and the very real issue of ‘everyday racism’, often by ‘good’ people. With a practice that has always leaned towards portraiture and self-portraiture, this conversation with Atong very much revolves around ideas of the self, the power of the photographer, and power of accessing and owning your family history.

This extends into her photography work, exploring the ideas of colonialism and migrant narratives, and also extends into her motley taste in music.
