Julian Day in ‘Jamming with Strangers’ at Casula Power House

November 25, 2021

Julian Day is included in the exhibition ‘Jamming with Strangers’ at Casula Power House from 04.12.21 – 27.02.22. The exhibition highlights music communities as spaces of intimacy, nourishment, and social connection. Julian will be presenting two video works that are an extension on ‘Cohort’ where the artist invited five participants to independently record their voices from the depths of Covid lockdowns. These new works were developed through a series of workshops at Casula that feature a cross-section of the diverse community in the surrounding region.

Jamming with Strangers incorporates new artworks commissions, workshops, and live events.

Featuring works by established and emerging artists, including: Carla & Lisa Wherby, David McDiarmid, Gillian Kayrooz, Joanne Saad, Julian Day, Kerry Toomey, Kevin Diallo, Ladstreet, Leila el Rayes & Justine Youssef, My Le Thi & Azo Bell, Tina Havelock Stevens and Troy-Anthony Baylis

The exhibition will also include a section collaboratively curated with leaders of the Western Sydney Ballroom scene Jamaica Moana and Xander Khoury. This section includes iconic costumes from the local Ballroom community, and will artworks by Ballroom artists, including: Blu Jay, Billy Kephavong & Fetu Taku, Joshua Taliani and Māhia aka Kaos.
