Following years of post-pandemic uncertainties and in the midst of global efforts in constructing the new normal in our everyday lives, we are faced yet again with the overwhelming surges of conflict, violence, and destruction. As the new facade which has defined the last few years of our lives, geopolitical conflicts have left a permanent impact upon humanity in general. The fact of the matter is that war scars a place and its people long after it is over. It begs the question more than ever; how can art and creative practices maintain and assert its relevance in such challenging times?
NAFA’s Southeast Asian Arts Forum 2024 will mark its 5th anniversary and this year is held in conjunction with ADPRex. In concord with the theme of precarity, the 5th edition of the Southeast Asian Arts Forum will once again evaluate the meaningfulness of practice, the arts, and our communities.
