Hilger NEXT + Hilger BROTKunsthalle

curated by_Matthias Arndt

Terra Incognita

The exhibition unites artists from South-East Asia and the Pacific who engage directly with local languages. Each position translates a specific sense of place from “unmapped” art landscapes. Conjuring geographically unique political, personal, historical perspectives, traditions and ritual, many works employ storytelling, recurring motifs and codes as instruments to communicate. The exhibition aims to emphasise art as a universal language that transcends regional boundaries.
