Through various collaborative and community-based approaches, the curators and artists of the exhibition seek to recover and re-explore ancestral knowledge. They engage with various archives such as the Gay Museum, A Queer Museum Hanoi and the Queer Indonesia Archive and enrich them with contemporary artistic practices.
The event will be held in English spoken language. Registration is not necessary. Participation is free of charge, only the entrance fee to the SMU itself has to be paid.
