We are excited to present The Unspoken: Intimate portraits & silent dialogues, a solo exhibition by Sharifah Sorayya as part of OzAsia Festival 2026.
Using the photogravure technique, this layered, mixed-media series explores her identity as an Asian woman of mixed heritage, reflecting on family, her transcontinental existence as a global citizen and the resilience forged through life's unexpected challenges.

Sharifah Sorayya is a Malaysian-born interdisciplinary artist based on Kaurna land by way of England, Saudi Arabia, and Canada. She is heavily influenced by her familial and personal lived history, particularly through pre and post-independence Malaysia - including the 1969 May 13 Racial Riots which impacts on the way she manages conflict and trauma.
Her work has been exhibited throughout Australia, Japan and Indonesia, and is held in private collections across Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Middle East, and the UK.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body
