Negotiating Home, History And Nation

Negotiating Home, History and Nation presents the work of fifty-four artists from six Southeast Asian countries and gives audiences the opportunity to form a picture of the threads linking Southeast Asian art practices. The exhibition allows modern artists to educate their audience.

The exhibit highlights regional artists’ exploration of topics such as nation-building, history, memory, urbanization, and religious and gender discourses. A common thread through the different artists indicates a proclivity for conceptualism. The artists communicate important political and cultural ideas through unique and interactive pieces.

Traditional paintings are a small collection among the many mediums used in the exhibit. Through a broad range of media such as photography, video, performance and installation art, the exhibition provides an entry to the specific characteristics of Southeast Asia. The artists’ struggles are portrayed in their individual pieces, inspiring change with great faith and courage.

The pensive works in the exhibit can now be studied long after the exhibit has gone. Haroko Studio was invited to craft a marquee and a 360 degree virtual tour for Negotiating Home, History and Nation, which will help viewers to hold on to their unique memories from the exhibition.
