An Inverted Journey of Counter Archiving

Throughout July 2024, esea  contemporary's Gallery will feature 'An Inverted Journey of Counter  Archiving' as part of our Summer Programme 'From (Counter-) Archives to Activation.'  This dynamic programme showcases a selection of 13 moving-image works  by artists alongside related archival and visual materials. These  selected works offer a critical examination – through an artistic lens  and research – which seeks to destabilise entrenched power dynamics and  foster a thought-provoking understanding and representation of memory  and history.

'An Inverted Journey of Counter Archiving' invites  viewers to delve into narratives that diverge from traditional  approaches to archiving, offering parallel, decolonising perspectives on  historiography.

Programme schedule:

2-6 July, ‘The Undesirables’ by Hester Yang

9-13 July, ‘Appendix A: ocean gazing’ by Prima Jalichandra-Sakuntabhai; ‘VMHS Legacy Project’ by Will Pham

16-20 July, ‘This is China of a particular sort, I do not know’ and ‘Another beautiful dream’ by Clare Chun-yu Liu

23-27  July, ‘Tomorrow’s History’, curated by Sine Screen, featuring works by  Nguyễn Trinh Thi, Huang Pang-Chuan, Chung Hong Iu, Prapat Jiwarangsan,  Simon Liu, Guangli Liu, Jittarin Wuthiphan, Shireen Seno, and Darren Lin
