Art Radar – “Ravaged”: Malaysian artist Nadiah Bamadhaj at Chambers Fine Art, New York
Malaysia-born, Indonesian-based artist Nadiah Bamadhaj is no stranger to the margins of society. Having worked at a shelter for trans- and cis-gender people in Indonesia since 2016, her experiences with the community have inspired her to make a new body of work. Combining collage drawings with photographic images, the artist challenges her adopted society’s rejection of the LGBTIQ community, shedding light on the issues that still confront them today.
