Asia Now
Following a successful first decade, Asia NOW, firmly rooted in both the local and international art scenes, affirms its ambition to “transcend the borders—real or imagined—that have long defined East and West.” A vision that echoes the decentering initiated by My East is Your West, the title of an exhibition by Natasha Ginwala inspired by Shilpa Gupta’s work at the 2015 Venice Biennale, the same year Asia NOW was created, and which remains a vital source of inspiration. This perspective is further enriched by Leela Gandhi’s research on new forms of empathetic collaboration, what she defines as “affective communities”, as highlighted by curator Anissa Touati, an expert in Global South dynamics.
