Synopsis

The exhibition Peninsula & Islands brings together a compelling collection of contemporary works from artists representing Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, the Philippines, New Zealand, Korea, and Indonesia. By bridging the cultural and geographical nuances of these regions, the show delves into themes of identity, tradition, and modernity, presenting an artistic dialogue that celebrates both shared histories and distinctive narratives. Each work is thoughtfully curated to reflect the diverse landscapes and cultural influences that shape these nations, from the peninsular roots of Southeast Asia to the insular environments of the Pacific. The exhibition aims to draw attention to the interconnectedness of these regions, exploring how local stories resonate within the broader context of the Asia Pacific. Through various mediums and artistic expressions, Peninsula & Islands offers a unique platform to experience the depth and complexity of Asia Pacific art, promoting cross-cultural understanding and appreciation.
