NOMADIC exhibition
A group Exhibition Curated by Dr.Vennes Cheng
Gallery 1&2 at Jim Thompson Art Center (JTAC)
The selected artworks by participating artists from Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong form a constellation that investigates and highlights the histories of human displacement in Asia, particularly in the eastern and southeastern regions.
This exhibition seeks to delineate the connections and relationships between various parts of the region and proposes a plural lens to discern the multiculturalism of Asia, emphasizing that community and identity are social articulations of differences. It ultimately aims to mediate discussions surrounding the current circumstances of Southeast Asia and Hong Kong and to render imaginary each other’s reference points in the region. Dr. Vennes Cheng
