SYMPOSIUM in collaboration with National Gallery Singapore

HOW EASILY MODERNISM COULD BE DISTURBED

1 DEC 2018

How Easily Modernism Could Be Disturbed takes the form of four literary circles involving some of Southeast Asia’s leading thinkers and is held in conjunction with the exhibition Latiff Mohidin: Pago Pago (1960–1969). It takes as its point of departure the conceptual concerns that governed Latiff Mohidin’s modes of working in the 1960s as he navigated a divided Europe and insurgent Southeast Asia. Through careful evocations of Latiff Mohidin’s poetry, writings, and selected audio-visual materials from his personal archives, each discussion will read modernism as one that is tempered by local forms of thinking.

The Symposium is open to the public. For registration & further information, please email info@ilhamgallery.com
