Asia

Asia encompasses an immense range of civilizations, languages, philosophies and visual traditions formed across millennia. Networks of migration, religion, commerce and empire have connected its regions while allowing profoundly distinct cultural identities to develop. Art of the World approaches this complexity through individual places rather than a single idea of Asia. The works consider how historical memory, belief, landscape and contemporary transformation can be translated into visual structures, revealing both the specificity of individual cultures and the connections that emerge across geographical and historical boundaries.
