Arts and Culture
Art serves as a powerful documentation of societal, cultural, and personal narratives, bridging the past and present while offering fresh perspectives on shared histories. This tour invites students to analyse how art captures and critiques collective and individual realities. Students will explore how art preserves memory, critiques inequality, and connects historical struggles with contemporary life.
Programme Details
Students will gain an understanding of the socio-historical context of Southeast Asia through the artworks presented in this tour. By comparing and contrasting two artworks in the Gallery, students will learn how artists document the challenges of their times and places through art. They will also explore stories of the past preserved in art, and draw parallels with present-day societal issues.
