Travelling Between Worlds

Yamaha Motor Australia is proud to support an extraordinary collaboration with internationally acclaimed artist Jade Akamarre and her Adelaide gallery, Pwerle.

Based in Adelaide, but with a well-worn track back to the Utopia region, Jade has called on family influences to carve out her own unique style of contemporary Indigenous artwork that reflects her own dreamtime story and heritage.

While Jade’s spiritual connection to the land and ocean is conveyed through her artwork, her physical connection to the water is celebrated while riding her Yamaha GP1800 SVHO WaveRunner.

It was through the freedom and connection with the environment that her WaveRunner delivers that led Jade to collaborate with Yamaha Motor Australia, combining her Dreamtime story with Yamaha’s technology. The result is this Yamaha GP19HO WaveRunner wrapped in stunning artwork created during the filming of Travelling Between Worlds, the seventh film in the #UnitedByYamaha brand campaign series.

Exclusively commissioned by Yamaha Motor Australia, the artwork is a fusion of Jade’s culture and dreaming with the power, heritage and innovation of Yamaha Motor, and the unmistakable ochre colours of outback Australia. The partnership also underscores Yamaha’s support for First Nations people and their rich cultural heritage.

This partnership with Jade Akamarre and her #UnitedByYamaha story Travelling Between Worlds is a captivating glimpse into Jade’s life as a fourth-generation Indigenous artist, and explores her world which is a balance of her corporate life as the Director of Pwerle Gallery, time exploring the coastline of South Australia on her GP1800 WaveRunner, and the tranquillity of her country, Utopia NT.
