درباره این اپیزود
Andrew Yeoh, professionally known as Drewfunk, is a Malaysian-born artist based in Australia whose work fuses street art, graffiti, fine art and cultural heritage. Known for his distinctive visual language, Drew’s practice draws from his Chinese Malaysian background, Melbourne’s street art scene, traditional Asian imagery, graffiti lettering, characters, murals and contemporary painting.
On this episode, we explore the art of carrying heritage forward, and how culture can be reimagined through contemporary street art. This conversation looks at identity, migration, language, family, tradition, graffiti, and the way artists transform their personal history into a creative language that feels both deeply rooted and entirely their own.
We dive into:
How culture shapes the way we see the world
Why language can change our sense of belonging
What makes a place feel like home
How subculture becomes a form of personal identity
Why tradition still matters in contemporary art
How memory becomes part of an artist’s visual language
What contrast reveals about beauty, chaos and identity
How artists absorb the cultures they move through
How creative limitations can lead to deeper discovery
What art contributes to culture beyond aesthetics
And so much more…
