Over the next three months, KADIST and Art & Market are partnering on a Collection Spotlight Series that draws on KADIST's collection. Together, we're curating this series to feature artists from the collection who engage with the urgent social and political forces of our time.

Each month, through curated collection highlights, we hope to bring new ideas, conversations, and new ways of thinking about the world we live in.

This may just be my favourite photoshoot yet! 🫣 For our latest shoot, we didn’t have to look too far for models. In fact, they were already at the warehouse.

Meet Hakeem and Nunzio from @maxpacker3pl . They’re two of the people normally behind the scenes, picking, packing and sending WAH-WAH orders out into the world.

They know our clothes pretty well. They see the pieces arrive, know what’s heading out the door and make sure your orders get from our shelves to your wardrobe. So we thought: why not put them in the clothes for a change?

For one day, we swapped the studio for the warehouse and put Hakeem and Nunzio in front of the camera.

At WAH-WAH, we’ve always liked seeing our clothes on real people — different ages, styles, shapes and personalities. The same jumper can feel completely different from one person to the next, and that individuality is part of what makes WAH-WAH interesting to us.

We want our clothes to have a life beyond the campaign image: to be worn, mixed up and made someone’s own. And who better than the people who handle, fold and pack them every day?

Rather than build a set, we used the warehouse exactly as it is. Shelves, packing benches, trolleys and stacks of orders became the backdrop. Bold knitwear amongst cardboard boxes. A warehouse aisle becoming a runway.

It’s also a glimpse of the WAH-WAH you don’t usually see. Every order has a journey before it reaches your doorstep, and Hakeem, Nunzio and the MAXPACKER team help make it happen.

For the day, though, they swapped pick + pack for pose + shoot. 💃

Thank you Hakeem, Nunzio and the whole @maxpacker3pl team for keeping this small biz ticking along! ♥️

Today was the final day of ‘Tony Albert: Not a Souvenir’!

Thank you for all your love of 'Not a Souvenir' and for joining the Aboriginalia Appeal with Tony!

Over the last 151 days, we received over 2,000 pieces of Aboriginalia. Every item donated is an item taken out of circulation and a potential new artwork in Tony’s hands.

SO YEAH, THINGS HAVE GOTTEN A LITTLE DARK HERE ON PLANET EARTH.

JUST LOOK AROUND YOU. IT SEEMS US HUMAN BEINGS HAVE KIND OF LOST OUR WAY.

HATE.

GREED.

ANGER.

SELFISHNESS.

POVERTY.

CORRUPTION.

STRESS.

BULLYING.

LIES.

DECEPTION.

DIVISION.

TAKE TAKE TAKE.

ME ME ME.

AND OF COURSE THAT LITTLE OLD THING CALLED GLOBAL WARMING.

THAT THING THAT HAS THE OCEAN TEMPERATURE RISING AT A RATE SO FAST THAT THE FINAL TIPPING POINT FOR THE SURVIVAL OF OUR SPECIES ON THE PLANET IS LESS THAN A GENERATION AWAY.

SO IN A WORLD THAT’S GONE INSANE, IT’S TIME FOR US TO COME ‘TOGETHER’ AND BE CRAZY.

THAT’S RIGHT, STOP LISTENING TO THE 1% OF THE WORLD THAT’S DEMANDING YOU TO BE BLACK, AND START LISTENING TO THE TRUTH INSIDE YOU.

THE TRUTH THAT’S SCREAMING FOR YOU TO BE KIND, BE GENEROUS, BE PLAYFUL, BE SELFLESS, BE LOVE, BE YOU, BE… PINK.

MAKE SENSE?

GOOD.

LET’S GO!!

STIRfri : Volume 15, Issue 4

WAYWARD

Wayward names a straying, but from whose path? The path assumes a map, and the map assumes an authority. The word holds both the deviation and the sovereignty that named it. Through the stories this week, we ask which one to trust.

Sudhir Patwardhan draws Mumbai for five decades—not its skyline, but its people; the wayward line of a sketch escaping the composed painting. Refik Anadol’s Latent City, on view in Bruges, perceives the city at a scale beyond individual human sight—data wandering into pattern, into feeling, into a portrait no single eye could hold. At NGV Melbourne, ‘Plant Life’ recovers what the industrial brief deliberately left out; plants, wayward by nature, predate every boundary we drew around them. And at MCA Sydney, Tony Albert refuses the souvenir, reclaiming hundreds of kitschy aboriginalia objects not by erasing their offence but by congregating it, until kitsch becomes indictment.

To go wayward is not to lose the way. It is to find that the way was never yours, perhaps.
