This second instalment of lecture and workshop series was held for year-three Fine Art students to establish a context for thinking about Southeast Asian terminologies and concepts, including Nanyang.
Conducted by Dr Bridget Tracy Tan, Director of the Institute of Southeast Asian Art and Art Galleries, the students were given an introduction to the region’s historical narrative, as well as modern societal and cultural issues such as marginalisation, feminist discourse and colonialisation.
The students were encouraged to share their thought processes at the workshop, which culminated with their own presentations of artistic expressions related to the cultures and traditions of Southeast Asia.
