Competition Winners
On 15 October 2016, the Australian Embassy, ruangrupa and Jakarta 32ºC Festival were pleased to announce Anisa Shabrina Yunus (Indonesia) and Alannah Scorer (Australia) as the winners of ModCon 2016.
Ms Yunus, an alumnus of Hasanuddin University in Makassar, garnered the most public votes with her artwork, “The Current Face of Indonesia”. This art features street vendors, public transport, visual arts and music as a representation of modern Indonesia.
Ms Scorer of University of Western Australia depicted the average Australian student’s daily life, thought-processes and the daydreamer in all of us through her submission, “Different”. She represents her concept through a collage of various digital media techniques captured in a single image.
Both winners will travel to their neighbouring country and take part in a range of activities that will contribute to their professional development as artists.
The Australian Embassy would like to congratulate both winners for their achievements and also thank all participants who have submitted art as a part of ModCon 2016.
