It needs us all, needs our remembering, understanding, and creating what we have heard together to keep coming into being." This convening builds upon this idea of a multiplicity of storytellers and intergenerational, intercultural linkages in art, activism, stories, and histories.]]> Eunsong Kim]]> Jungmin Choi]]> Kim Nguyen]]> Karin Oen]]> Green Zeng]]> Hong-An Truong]]> Hồng-Ân Trương]]> Ranu Mukherjee]]> Billy Tang]]> Ute Meta Bauer]]> Video]]> Southeast Asia]]> Activism]]> Ecology]]> Displacement]]> Politics]]> Sherna Dastur]]> Asia]]> Activism]]> Ecology]]> Displacement]]> Politics]]> Sudhir Pattnaik]]> Asia]]> Activism]]> Performance]]> Tang Da Wu]]> Southeast Asia]]> Activism]]> Ibrahim Hamid]]> Southeast Asia]]> History]]> Activism]]> Tun Win Aung]]> Southeast Asia]]> Architecture]]> Activism]]> Mary Otis Stevens]]> North America]]> Activism]]> Nature]]> Oceans & Seas]]> Sustainability]]> 23 Nov 2019, Sat 02:00 PM - 07:00 PM

With practices at the intersection of art and activism, Irene Agrivina and inhabitants will share more about their works, on view in the Exhibition Hall and the Lab respectively. While Agrivina teaches local women communities in Indonesia how to transform wastewater into valuable goods, inhabitants informs a wider public about the threats of seabed mining. Environmental researchers Dr Serina Abdul Rahman and Dr Janelle Thompson will present their findings on floral and faunal marine communities, as well as sustainable and ecological solutions regarding natural resources.

Post-Museum has worked alongside a wide network of social actors, cultural workers, and institutions to stimulate public engagement with ideas of identity, society, and community. Their projects have sought to bridge the seemingly distant worlds of art and activism through a diverse oeuvre of events, art exhibitions, and public interventions. In this talk, Jennifer Teo will talk about the work of Post-Museum and how the artistic medium can act as a galvanising agent to foster positive social discourse and encourage collective organisation.

Screenings by Filipino human-right activist, artist, and filmmaker Kiri Dalena and by American artist Lucy Raven will be followed by a conversation with both artists. Based on the true story of the drowning of a young activist, Dalena’s film From The Dark Depths (2017) opens with a beautiful and surreal sequence underwater in which a woman dances slowly brandishing a red flag. Around her, many red flags are planted in the seabed. This hypnotic and captivating dream is shuttered by sequences with authentic 16mm, analog and digital video footage from the artist’s own archive with documentation of political unrest spanning for two decades, and an ominous long-track of a police car at night prompting the citizens to respect the curfew—a gloomy reminder of a lost freedom. Lucy Raven will screen materials connected to a new film-in-progress, alongside several recent short videos.
