Abstract
What can art do when the identity of a city has been erased? This exhibition invited Mexican, Brazilian, Hong Kongese, Indonesian, South Korean and Thai artists who have experienced colonialism culturally and politically. The exhibition reconstructs postcolonial discourse via the practices of artists who interpret and build cultural diversity through postcolonial urban discourse.
This exhibition defines postcolonialism as a collective concept referring to all cultures that have experienced the yoke of imperialism from the colonial era to the present. De-colonialism is an epistemic movement to define the identities of those who lost their culture under the suppression of the imperialism of the first world. Also, it is a movement of the people of marginalized countries who try to reclaim their subjectivity and voice.
