This exhibition brings together 19 artists from Asia and South Pacific. It challenges colonial geopolitical divisions and highlights the interconnected nature of cultural subjectivities by linking the two regions.
Patrick Flores says, “The exhibition speaks to the evolving scenarios in the world in the present, such as the wars in Europe and the tension in the seas around the region. By redrawing the map and remapping the world through the vector of the southeast, the project seeks to offer imaginations of belonging that stems from multiple wellsprings of origin, emergence, and assembly.”
Reuben Keehan says, “Stemflow constructs a space of correspondence, where artists draw on historical encounters, linguistic and cultural affinities, shared experiences of colonisation and exploitation, and entanglements of migration and labour to suggest emergent solidarities and possible modes of being together.”
