Horizon Ablaze: Curatorial Talk

Horizon Ablaze: Curatorial Talk

This talk brings together the curatorial team of Horizon Ablaze to discuss how the project has been conceived, transformed, and expanded across Taiwan, the Philippines, and Panama. Additionally, Taiwanese arts practitioner Rikey Tenn is invited to share research on the Bandung Conference. Through reflections on tropical sensibilities and transnational collaboration, the session reconsiders how contemporary art can forge connections in a heated world, opening up a cross-cultural dialogue on the experience of “heat.”
