“Aniwar’s work can be seen as a vortex of historical cultural memory, geography and environment, and the constant exchange occurring at the heart of Eurasia. It is a call from the frontier, both alluring and compelling in its vibrant uniqueness. Welcome to the Borderlands.”

Borderlands by Aniwar Mamat (b.1962) is the first Uyghur contemporary art exhibition in Australia. Aniwar was born in Kargilik, an ancient Silk Road oasis in China’s Xinjiang Province, where Turkic, Persian, Hindu, Buddhist, Shamanist cultural expressions intermingled.

Aniwar’s work is a vortex of historical cultural memory, geography and environment, and the constant exchange occurring at the heart of Eurasia. It is a call from the frontier, both alluring and compelling in its vibrant uniqueness. Welcome to the Borderlands.

Borderlands《境·域》是首个在澳大利亚举办的中国维吾尔族当代艺术展览。艺术家安尼沃尔·买买提（1962年）出生于中国新疆西南部的叶城——这座古老的丝绸之路驿站绿洲，是突厥、波斯、印度、佛教及萨满等多元文化交融共生之地。

安尼沃尔的作品可被视为历史文化记忆、地理环境与欧亚大陆中心地带持续交流的交汇点。它宛如一声来自边疆的呼唤——既神秘，又充满震撼力，以其独特的生命力吸引着我们。欢迎来到 Borderlands。
