PAGAR & PADI is a new exhibition created by British artist Catriona Maddocks and Dusun artist Gindung Mc Feddy Simon, who collaborated with community members of Kampung Kilimu, a rural village at the foothills of Mount Kinabalu to produce a piece of land art. Together in October 2022 they undertook the annual Mongomot, rice planting, using heritage rice grains to spell out the word, JAMIN, into the earth. In March 2023 the artists harvested the padi and documented the process through drone photography and videography. The outcome will be presented at Kota-K Art Gallery from 16 August to 16 September.
The exhibition celebrates rice, harvest, power of the people, as well as commenting on the promises made by power brokers and how communities remember them.
The work is presented at Kota-K Art Gallery, a free public gallery situated at Laman Seni in the heart of Kota Kinabalu city.
