In collaboration with the School of Art and Design (SOAD) Foundation Programme, Year 1 students were invited to visit the exhibition The Field Beyond: Works by Contemporary Malaysian Artists where they were given the opportunity to interact with participating artists Choy Chun Wei, Ivan Lam, Kimberley Boudville and Yau Bee Ling. Students also engaged in conversations about the artists' motivations and creative process.
Moderated by Dr Bridget Tracy Tan, Director of ISEAA and Art Galleries at NAFA, students were given a set of exercises to help them think about the works presented in the exhibition. Themed "People, Cultures, and Beliefs," students were encouraged to think about the importance of personal histories in Southeast Asian artmaking.
