Present Passing: South by Southeast

Osage Art Foundation presents “Present Passing: South by Southeast”, curated by Patrick D. Flores (Philippines) and Natasha Becker (USA), bringing together 16 artists – 5 from South Africa, 2 from the Caribbean, 7 from Asia/Southeast Asia and 2 from Hong Kong working in different media such as photography, sculpture, video, installation, painting and performance, to investigate the nuances of this intersubjective space.

Setting its sights on the ties between Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, which is southeast of the hegemonic North American mainland, and South Africa, which links to Southeast Asia and the Caribbean through seafarers, the exhibition leads us to revisit how we reflect on the place of region in the contemporary.
