The narratives included in the show address themes of: growth, corruption,
memory, history, language, colonialism and freedom. Drawing on research in
China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Indonesia, seven artists are included,
across multimedia forms of video, performance, installation, text and
drawing.

This project is conceived as a work-in-progress that is open to other
additions and network plug-ins. The evolution of the exhibition from its
original conception in Hong Kong will take on a new lease on life through
audience interactions and cross-cultural interpretations.

Australia is a unique location to launch this exhibition, as its
multilayered relationship with the idea of Asia provides a cultural
framework where the title of the exhibition comes alive.
