Co-Curation
Co-Curating expands on the notion of art as forms of dialogical encounter and its relationship to the public and the political. Constantly reflecting the ways in which our physical and organizational structure is interconnected with a wider ecology, this topic aims to enact collective ways of working with different institutions and communities to facilitate spaces that engage with issues around historical consciousness, socio-political debates, artistic ecosystem, new media and digital archiving, activism, civil society, public space, globalisation and institution building.

How to live life in a time of intense insecurity? A pandemic time, with a climate crisis looming and with populism, systematic racism worldwide on the rise? What can we learn from art practices and recent social movements hailing from East Asia to imagine a more sustainable future from our own situated context? The title of this program, taken from Hong Kong American martial artist Bruce Lee’s philosophy, reminds us that resilience and care come from fluidity, flexibility, and tenacity. In a turbulent time, we need even more so friends close and afar to make alliances for a journey in building a better world.
