Join Maimunah Abdullah, Rabiah Letizia, Abdul-Rahman Abdullah, and Abdul-Karim Abdullah in conversation about their family exhibition Kaseh Ibu.

Kaseh Ibu is a conversation between four children and their mother. Foregrounding Maimunah Abdullah’s interest in the natural world, a series of her recent botanical paintings provide the impetus for her children to explore ideas of domesticity, resilience and familial exchange. As the family expands into new phases of life, with families of their own, the exhibition reflects on the developing roles of parent and child intrinsic to a broader cycle of growth. Bringing together creative works from members of the same family weaves together some of the fundamental values that define them as individuals. Positing artistic output as a reflection of maternal resilience, Kaseh Ibu offers an intimate view into the creative lives of the Abdullah family.
