Why Australia Can’t Look Away From Sid Pattni

Meet Sid Pattni: Archibald Prize finalist, painter and one of the most exciting South Asian artists in Australia today. He’s known for faceless self-portraits, a choice born from survival, identity and a belief that audiences should see themselves too. Honest, funny and fresh, Sid tells Dilpreet Kaur Taggar how he rejected his 'Indianness' growing up, why “multiculturalism” can feel hollow, and what he wants from the Australian art world now. If you love artists who break rules beautifully, this one’s for you. Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch the interview on YouTube.
