Step into Art Remembers on this curator-led tour and discover how artists from Southeast Asia revisit history through archives, memory, and lesser-known records. Bringing together newly commissioned works alongside works from the National Collection, the exhibition features 20 artworks that recover, reimagine, and retell histories that have been forgotten, marginalised, or left untold.
From painting and photography to installation and moving image, encounter works that question familiar historical narratives and reveal new perspectives on the past. Along the way, gain deeper insights into the curatorial vision behind the exhibition, and hear the stories, research, and creative processes that shaped these thought-provoking works.
