On the theme of 'survival', we will share the environment and conditions surrounding contemporary Southeast Asian art, based on the artistic expressions of Vietnamese artist Tuan Mami and Myanmarese artist Aung Myattay. We will then engage in a dialogue on the specific nature of art for 'survival' in contemporary Asia, taking Asian 'views of nature' and 'myths/folktales' as a starting point, and in the context of Shunsuke Tsurumi's 'marginal art'.
