The Mambo Mural exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum reimagines 23 iconic Mambo posters, creating an interactive experience that bridges generations.
Tasked with incorporating an AR element, I explored the museum archives and was drawn to Mambo’s vibrant designs, deeply rooted in Aussie surf culture.
Through careful layout planning, redrawing, and recolouring, I crafted a cohesive landscape that highlights each character and scene.
The addition of AR brought the artwork to life, making the exhibition an engaging and dynamic tribute to Mambo’s legacy.
The project highlight was sharing my work with Reg Mombassa, one of the artists behind 80% of the artworks in my mural! His appraisal made all the hours worth it.
