Co-presented by NTU CCA Singapore, the CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, and Rockbund Art Museum, this convening builds upon the idea of a multiplicity of storytellers and intergenerational, intercultural linkages in art, activism, stories, and histories.

Minh-ha. The conversation will close by screening video artworks by Ranu Mukherjee, 0rphan drift, and Genevieve Quick (United States), then the convening flows into a panel discussion with short presentations by Jungmin Choi (Korea), Eunsong Kim (United States), Green Zeng (Singapore) and Billy Tang (United Kingdom/China), exploring intergenerational dialogues, transnational and diasporic identities, and activism in creative practice and public life.
