KAWAN! KAWAN! Exhibition

Meet the artists of KAWAN! KAWAN!

Responding with the physical body and focusing on sensation, Liszu Tan (@liszutan ) treats materials like skin and bones, sinking her teeth in the inner workings of the moving body and the underlying politics that govern its presence in space.

Sona Kharel (@kharel_designs ) investigates the distinction between loneliness and solitude, drawing from Buddhist concepts of detachment and impermanence. The results: wearable forms that materialise from internal experiences.

Aarti Pillai (@aarti_paartiii ) traces migration back to the ocean, the tidal environment an extension of human touch.

Lastly, Julian Udine (@julian.udine.art ) imagines ecology as a collective body, where lifeforms mix and blur between the self, the environment and contamination.

KAWAN! KAWAN! is an exhibition exploring cultural identity, history, and memory within the experience of Southeast Asian diaspora. RSVP 🔗 in bio
